3 keys:
1. Plan
2. Prioritize
3. Communicate
No meetings week would be a show stopper at my firm. We plan around our clients needs and timelines. We prioritize the most important/time critical pieces and communicate if expectations aren't realistic
That’s how I navigated my first year as a people manager. I immersed myself in everything and everyone’s calls, meetings, etc.
I thought I was showing my efforts but then I found myself chiming in far too often— basically putting back on my IC hat, when in fact I needed to let my team do that!
You will learn with each of your team how much they need you and in what way— you want to do your best to provide an EQUITABLE (NOT equal) amount of support for each of your team members to perform to the best of their abilities. That’s management.
And what a previous poster said about communication. Probably the single trait most needed for a good manager.
