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.
- 35 ready-made, market-tested prompts: hiring criteria, interview questions, onboarding plans, 1:1 preparation, development plans, performance briefings
- The HIRE Protocol — structured, evidence-based, fair hiring — at every stage from JD to offer
- The PULSE Framework for 1:1s and team meetings that surface real insight and drive progress
- A 90-day onboarding arc that accelerates productivity without overwhelming new hires
