Build a weekly leadership update template
Name the leader, cadence, and standing sections; get a 90-second format with a fixed “decisions this week” block.
The prompt
Build a reusable template for a weekly update from [leader or leadership team].
Context: sent every [Friday] to [all employees / a division]. Purpose: keep people connected to priorities and decisions without another meeting. Standing sections: [e.g., the week in three lines, decisions made, what’s coming, a shout-out, one question we’re wrestling with].
Audience: busy employees who will read it in under 90 seconds.
Tone: personal and candid; sounds like the leader, not a comms team.
Must include:
– A short opening line the leader writes fresh each week
– Each standing section with a heading, a one-line description of what belongs there, and sample content
– A fixed “decisions this week” format: the decision, why, what changes
– A closing line inviting replies or questions
Constraints: under 350 words in sample form; no more than one link per section.
Output: the template with each section in place, sample content marked [like this], and a short note on what changes each week versus what stays fixed.

CoAuthorHow to use
Keep the opening line as a fresh-each-week placeholder — that one human line is what makes people read the rest.
