I'm not sure I could muster the arrogance to write such a document about myself... and then expect people to read it. The suggested examples of what the document could contain are bizarre and yet also weirdly simple & obvious...
"I am a sponge. I’ll take more content earlier rather than a formal presentation"
"Please give me the bad news before I hear it from somewhere else"
"Be direct. Tell me what you need and when you need it."
I guess it hasn't occurred to them that most introverts would hate having to write about themselves in this way, and a reasonable subset wouldn't be interested in reading what the extroverts have to say about themselves either.
A far better approach is to not have any preconceived ideas about your colleagues, and discover how you interact best as and when the need arises. There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach for how different people should interact with an individual.
Sounds very extroverted and without any issues in bothering other people /s
Honestly, a humble "README" for the person is something I'm coming to appreciate more and more, at least so long as it's humble and not condescending to people.
Especially as someone both introverted, and as it turns out, on the autistic spectrum (nice bomb to find out after 34 years :V)
So it stresses out a lot of people, and doesn't actually help anyone.
This was... not that.
I think most people would probably run in terror at the suggestion.
"I do not sponsor HR gym bunnies swimming for charity."
"I am not interested in cycle-to-work tax relief schemes."
"I will not eat vegan food just because HR found our that it was the new thing they should beat employees with."
"Use clear, well structured English to communicate with me."
"Incentivising me with free beers at the manager's favourite pub is not going to work."
