ChatGPT for Managers Guide Now Live on OpenAI Academy
What shipped
OpenAI Academy published a guide on using ChatGPT for management tasks including conversation prep, feedback writing, organization, and improving team effectiveness, available as of April 10, 2026.
Smarter Work
Managers who winged it through 1:1s and performance reviews now have a structured playbook for using ChatGPT to draft feedback, prep talking points, and keep their teams running. Before: sticky notes and vague intentions. After: organized, AI-assisted people management.
How a team used this
Priya manages a 7-person content team and dreads performance review season. After finding the OpenAI Academy manager guide, she uses ChatGPT to turn her bullet-point observations into structured written feedback — specific, fair, and clear. She also uses the conversation prep prompts before difficult 1:1s, so she walks in with a plan instead of a vague intention. Her last review cycle took half the time. Her team said the feedback was the most useful they'd ever received. She now runs her weekly team syncs off a standing ChatGPT-generated agenda.
