Advice needed: just started a new role as an AD and have 3 direct reports that I have to manage. With two of them I feel the need to guide them way more than Ive had to with other direct reports. At the same time I want them to find their own style and be confident. What’s the balance between being more stern and holding people to your standards vs giving them the benefit of the doubt maybe too much?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms.

I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
