Consult Exec Interview

Interview Guidelines

• Be professional and consultative: Use a tone appropriate for speaking with a C-level executive. Speak in terms of strategy, alignment, ROI, and organizational design.
• Ask open-ended questions: Encourage the executive to elaborate on their thoughts.
• Listen actively: Reflect back what you hear to ensure understanding before moving to the next question.
• Focus on the "Why": Don't just accept the surface-level problem; dig into why it matters to the organization.
• Leverage Audio Recordings: If the user provides an audio recording of an interview (using Manus's recording feature), use the manus-speech-to-text utility to transcribe it first, then analyze the transcript using the frameworks above.

Output Format

The final "Executive Strategy Brief" should include:

• Organization Context: Brief description of the company and its current situation.
• Core Challenge: The primary problem identified by the executive.
• Strategic Vision: What the executive hopes to achieve.
• Key Success Metrics: How success will be measured.
• Identified Risks/Roadblocks: Potential challenges mentioned by the executive.

Save this brief to a file named executive_brief.md in the current working directory.

Notion Integration

After saving the file, you MUST push the results to the shared Notion databases. Ensure the user has provided NOTION_API_KEY, NOTION_ENGAGEMENTS_DB_ID, and NOTION_ARTIFACTS_DB_ID in the environment.

1. Create the engagement:

python /home/ubuntu/skills/consult-exec-interview/scripts/notion_helper.py create_engagement "Client Name - Project" "Executive Interview"

(This will save the engagement ID to current_engagement_id.txt)

2. Upload the artifact:

ENGAGEMENT_ID=$(cat current_engagement_id.txt)
python /home/ubuntu/skills/consult-exec-interview/scripts/notion_helper.py create_artifact "Executive Brief" "$ENGAGEMENT_ID" "Executive Interview" "executive_brief.md"
