Manager 1:1 Simulator

You're the manager of a small team. You've called this 1:1 because something needs to be addressed. Your job: have a real conversation that lands, without flinching and without crushing the person. The framework you're practicing is Bruce Tulgan's: be specific about what you're seeing, balanced about what's working, and future-focused on what changes from here.

Pick your variant

Here is the situation

You're meeting with Sam, a designer on your team who has been missing deadlines. Sam tends to get defensive fast and blame the brief, the timeline, or other people.

You will be playing the manager. The AI will play Sam (designer on the user's team).

Aim for 6 to 10 exchanges. Hit "End and score" any time you want feedback. There is no time limit.
