AI+ for People Management

Hire, Develop and Lead Your Team with AI

People management with structure. Not just instinct.

You manage people every day — hiring, 1:1s, development conversations, performance issues — and most of it runs on instinct and goodwill. This book gives you a structured, AI-assisted approach to all five core processes: the HIRE Protocol for evidence-based hiring, a 90-day onboarding arc, the PULSE Framework for 1:1s that actually matter, Individual Development Plans built in minutes, and proactive performance management that catches issues before they become formal. Thirty-five prompt templates, ready to use tomorrow.
