Write my weekly note to the leadership team
A short weekly CEO note covering priorities, decisions, signals from the field, and asks, so leaders stay aligned between meetings.
The prompt
Help me write this week's note to my leadership team.
My raw notes for the week: [PASTE everything - meetings, customer conversations, board feedback, metrics, worries]
Company priorities this quarter: [LIST]
Key metrics this week: [NUMBERS vs. target]
Decisions I made or that are pending: [LIST]
Things I need from specific leaders: [NAME - ASK - DEADLINE]
Write a note with these sections:
1. Top of mind (2-3 sentences): what I most want leaders thinking about this week.
2. Scoreboard: metrics vs. target, with one line on anything off track.
3. Decisions: what was decided, why, and who it affects. Pending decisions with the date they'll be made.
4. Signals: what I heard from customers, investors, the board, or the market that leaders should know.
5. Asks: who I need what from, by when. Names and dates in bold.
6. Recognition: one specific thank-you, tied to a priority.
Rules:
- Under 400 words; it should take 2 minutes to read.
- Filter my notes: leave out anything confidential that shouldn't be shared with the whole leadership team, and list what you left out so I can check.
- Plain and direct; no corporate filler.
- Don't add numbers or events I didn't provide.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
