You were invited

You just got a chief of staff.

For the people side of your work: your boss, your peers, the meeting you’re dreading. In about six minutes it learns how you work and shows you what it sees, then helps you get further, however you define it.

Your privacy

Your conversations with Sphere are yours. Your boss sees what you choose to share, and HR sees none of it. If your organization turns it on, your boss may also hear that the team as a whole seems under strain, never who or what was said, and you can leave yourself out of it in Settings.
Your organization sees group results and how far along you are. It never sees your answers, and in the default setting never your scores.
When a colleague asks Sphere how to work with you, Sphere gives them tips drawn from your read and what you’ve shared about your work. They never see your scores or your conversations, and you can turn the tips off in Settings.

What you get

Work out how to approach anyone

Ask Sphere about a colleague by name, including your boss. You get how they’re likely to see the situation and how to bring it up with them.

Marcus

I want to ask @Marcus to let me lead the next launch. How do I pitch it?

Sphere

Marcus decides fast and likes a plan he can say yes to. Bring the first three steps you'd take and the risk you'd watch, and ask for the lead in the same breath.

Practice it with Marcus

Practice the conversation first

Rehearse it with Sphere playing the other person. Asking your boss for more is easier the second time.

Marcus

I'd like to lead the next launch. Here's how I'd run the first month.

Sphere, playing Marcus

I like the plan. What happens to your current accounts while you do it?

Start with yourself

Introduce yourself to Sphere with a short set of questions about how you work and what you’re working toward. When you finish, you get a quick read on how you work, then your full read: where you’re strong, where there’s room to grow and how you handle pressure.

Your read, Jordan

Where you’re strong: Getting hard things right. You spot the flaw in a plan early, and people bring you the problems nobody else can fix.
Where there’s room: You want a team that runs without you, and you take the work back the moment it’s late. That keeps them from learning to do it.
Under pressure: You go quiet and fix things yourself, which can leave the people around you guessing.
Working with you: You take feedback best one on one, with a real example. Bring a problem to you early, with a first idea, and you’ll help solve it.
