Any tips on how NOT to micromanage? Especially when you're managing someone new and you aren't sure how reliable they are yet. How many check-ins/reminders are too many? Would love your advice!

As somebody who has worked for her fair share of micromanagers, I would encourage you to make it known that you're available to help, but not ask for constant updates. Give deadlines, offer support, and let them do their job. If they aren't doing their job, that's when you can intervene. But micromanaging is really bad for morale and teaches your employees that you don't trust them to do the job.

Good advice from HRG1! I’d also establish a cadence of connection points consistent with the rest of the team. If your team is big enough, you can provide a peer mentor for the new person - someone on the team that can be their first point of contact for questions they have while coming up to speed. That enables the new employee to ask questions and get help when needed without you having to be all up in their business, which demonstrates trust in them and in the team as a whole. That also helps build rapport in the team.

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!
