Prompt 290 words

Write a short leadership statement with the moral focus of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, without imitating his voice or life. British English. Plain words. No jargon.

Length 180–260 words.

Sections, in order

  1. The struggle. One sentence naming the real pain using [PAIN].
  2. The stakes and the standard. Two sentences on why this matters now and the standard we accept.
  3. The near future we can see. Four concrete scenes from [TEAM/CONTEXT] in present tense.
  4. Our commitments. Four sentences starting with We that map to [GOAL].
  5. Rails with owners and measures.
    Today: [FIRST STEP]. Owner [NAME].
    This week: remove [TOP THREE BLOCKERS]. Owner [NAME].
    This month: [MILESTONE WITH DATE]. Owner [NAME].
    This quarter: hit [METRIC AND DATE].
  6. Refrain. One line, 6–12 words, echoing [VISION/STRATEGY].

Guardrails

  • Short, direct sentences.
  • Numbers and dates where useful.

Inputs

  • [VISION/STRATEGY]
  • [PAIN]
  • [TEAM/CONTEXT]
  • [GOAL]
  • [FIRST STEP]
  • [TOP THREE BLOCKERS]
  • [MILESTONE WITH DATE]
  • [METRIC]

2) Seven-Sentence Steel Prompt

Write exactly seven sentences, British English, plain words, MLK focus not voice.

  1. Name [PAIN].
  2. State why it matters now.
  3. Name the standard we accept.
  4. Describe one concrete future scene from [TEAM/CONTEXT].
  5. Another scene.
  6. Commit in β€œWe …” form tied to [GOAL].
  7. Set Today, This week, This month, This quarter with owners and one metric, separated by semicolons. End with a 6–10 word refrain.

3) Stand-Up Script Prompt

Write a one-minute script for a team stand-up. British English. Plain words. MLK focus not voice.

  • Open with the struggle in one line using [PAIN].
  • Name stakes and standard in two lines.
  • Read four concrete present-tense scenes from [TEAM/CONTEXT].
  • Read four We-commit lines tied to [GOAL].
  • Announce rails with owners: Today, This week, This month, This quarter.
  • Close with a one-line refrain people can repeat.

Useful prompt but the real issue is bigger? That usually means the workflow or team mechanism needs attention, not just the wording.

Why It Works

Grounds aspiration in shared identity and reachable steps; repetition anchors memory and commitment.

Example Output

We face missed deadlines and frayed trust. We can become the team that keeps promises again. Today we align one plan; this week we clear the top three blockers; this month we deliver on time. Refrain: One plan. One promise. One team.
