FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm an experienced manager - is this too basic?
The management advice is solid for any level. The value is in the organization. Think of it as bringing your expertise into a clean system. Many experienced managers use this to finally consolidate years of scattered notes.
I'm new to managing - will I understand this?
Yes. Includes a 90-day roadmap, detailed feedback scripts, and guidance on when to use each tool. You're not expected to know everything.
Do I need Notion experience?
Nope. Basic Notion knowledge helps, but the template is ready to use. If you can edit a Google Doc, you can use this.
Can I customize it?
Absolutely. Delete sections you don't need, add properties for your team, adjust everything. It's a starting point, not a rigid system.
How is this different from ManagerOS (another system by ManagerHacks)?
This is the streamlined version focused on day-to-day team management. ManagerOS is a premium system which includes performance reviews, growth planning, PIPs, advanced analytics, and systems for managing 5+ people.
