Anyone have good examples of how senior leadership supports project teams during crunch periods (especially if they created the situation)? Trying to articulate specific behaviors that will help our PMs not end up being the “deliverer of bad news” that ppl have to work overtime, especially if the same PMs already advocated for their teams in convos with senior leads.

VP of production always tells me: We go in giving our standard timeline. If it gets shortened, then trust the account team is doing their job to get work to pay our staff. If you dont count that as a blessing, then I dont know what to tell you.

This being said from someone who is putting in the hours and not just sitting back and watching us run around like madmen.
