Build a manager cascade kit
Paste the employee announcement; get a summary managers can say aloud, talking points, do/don’t-say pairs, Q&A, and a meeting outline.
The prompt
Build a cascade kit that lets managers explain [the change] to their teams.
Context: the announcement employees will receive: [paste it]. Timing: managers get this [24 hours] before the all-employee send. What managers may add or tailor: [list]. What must stay word-for-word: [list].
Audience: people leaders with mixed experience; some have never delivered difficult news.
Tone: supportive and practical; treat managers as partners, not messengers.
Must include:
– A one-paragraph summary a manager can say out loud in under a minute
– Five talking points in the order to say them
– “Do say / don’t say” pairs for the sensitive parts
– Eight likely questions with approved answers, plus a script for “I don’t know yet”
– A 15-minute team meeting outline and a suggested follow-up message to the team
Constraints: everything a manager reads aloud must sound like speech, not slides.
Output: the kit in the order above, ready to paste into a document or a manager email.

Be explicit about what managers may tailor and what must stay word-for-word — that is the line they most often cross.
