How do you work? Write it down for your co-workers

User manuals can be helpful as literal, written-down guides for how your co-workers or reports can understand your values, work style, preferred forms of communication and how they can help you, writes RadReads founder Khe Hy. Such a manual can “deepen trust, eliminate unnecessary conflict and — most importantly — [you’ll] spend less time worrying about things outside of your control,” Hy writes.
