Leaders skim; bloated summaries stall decisions. In this lesson, you’ll learn to rewrite a Staff+ RFC executive summary into a single, 120–180 word, decision-first paragraph that quantifies impact, names real alternatives, pairs risks with mitigations, and ends with a concrete ask. You’ll see a before-and-after rewrite, a Red-Pen Checklist (cut, compress, clarify), high-signal examples, and targeted exercises with a self-check to pressure-test your draft. Expect practical, rubric-led guidance that makes your summary scannable in seconds and ready for approval.
TL;DRs that Senior Leaders Read: Precision Writing with TL;DR examples for technical proposalsDo your TL;DRs get skimmed instead of green‑lit? This lesson shows you how to write a 120–180 word executive brief that leaders read, trust, and act on—decision first, timing trigger, quantified impact, real alternatives, and a precise ask. You’ll get a crisp framework, high-signal examples (strong vs. weak), and targeted exercises to lock in the pattern. Outcome: you’ll ship decision-ready TL;DRs for technical proposals that convert directly into approvals and calendarized next steps.
