## Summary
Use this when a manager or analyst needs to draft a concise summary email to senior leadership that highlights the most important findings from a report, survey, or analysis. Trigger when someone says: 'email leadership the key findings', 'summarise the report for execs', 'send a leadership update', or 'executive summary email'.

## When to use this

You've completed a report, survey, or analysis and need to communicate the most important findings to senior leadership — clearly, briefly, and in a format they'll actually read. No time for a wall of text; they need a short intro plus scannable bullet points.

## What you'll get

A professional email to senior leadership with a 2-3 sentence intro paragraph and a tight bullet list of the most important findings, ready to send from Gmail or copy into Docs.

## Prompt template

Use this in **Gemini in Docs** (open the document containing your report, or a new Doc, then open the Gemini side panel):

```
Draft an email to senior leadership that summarizes key findings from our [report name or type]. Include a short intro paragraph with bullet points on the most important findings.
```

**Fill in the variables:**
- `[report name or type]` — e.g. "Q3 employee engagement survey", "annual customer satisfaction report", "operational efficiency audit"

Optional extension — tag the source document:
```
Draft an email to senior leadership that summarizes key findings from @[Report Name]. Include a short intro paragraph with bullet points on the most important findings. Keep it under 300 words.
```

## Customisation tips

- Specify the audience: *"The recipients are the CFO, COO, and CPO — tailor the findings to a strategic lens"*
- Set a word limit: *"Keep it under 200 words"* or *"No more than 5 bullet points"*
- Add a recommendation: *"Close with a one-sentence recommendation for next steps"*
- After drafting, paste into Gmail or use **Refine → Shorten** for a tighter result
- For sensitive findings, add: *"Use neutral, factual language — avoid alarmist framing"*

## Iteration suggestions

After Gemini drafts the summary email:
1. **Need to discuss in a town hall?** → use `town-hall-opening-remarks` or `town-hall-qa-prep` to prepare
2. **Want to delegate follow-up?** → use `delegate-meeting-email` to assign ownership of the next steps
