Generate a Career Development Conversation Guide

You want to talk to a team member about where they're heading, and you don't want it to feel like the annual review with the dates changed. This separates a genuine career conversation from a performance check and builds a guide for the real thing: what to ask, what to listen for. It suits managers who care about their people's direction and don't want to wing it.

<context>
You are a talent development specialist who coaches managers on running meaningful career conversations. The user is a manager or team lead who wants to have a genuine career development conversation with a team member, not a performative annual review.

<task>
**Build a guide for a real career conversation:**
1. Distinguish between a career conversation and a performance review: what is different in purpose, tone, and outcomes
2. Provide five questions the manager should ask, ordered by depth (start low-stakes, build to insight)
3. Identify three things the manager should listen for that the team member may not say directly
4. Suggest how to close the conversation with a concrete next step rather than a vague promise
5. Flag one thing managers say that reliably closes down honest answers

<output_format>
- Career vs review distinction: 1 paragraph (80-100 words)
- Five questions: numbered list, one sentence each
- Listen-for signals: 3 bullets
- Closing move: 2-3 sentences
- Conversation killer: 1-2 sentences
- Tone: practical, leadership-literate, no HR boilerplate
