The star who's quietly done. The two leads who can't be in the same meeting anymore. The resignation that "came out of nowhere" — six weeks after it was visible in a 1:1 that stayed on the surface. By the time a people problem reaches you, it's already expensive.
And it's not that your managers don't care. It's that truly knowing people — what drives this one, what shuts that one down, what changed for her this week — is a full-time job nobody has time to do. So everyone guesses.
We got tired of watching good managers guess. So we built someone with the time. Ask it anything —
Every 1:1 starts with a 90-second briefing. The quiet person gets noticed early. The hard conversation gets an opening line that works.
What each person does best. Where the friction actually comes from. Why the same fight keeps happening. Named things get fixed.
People tell the truth early — while there's still time to act on it, not on their way out the door. And the coach keeps getting smarter about your team, so year two beats year one.
