GM I just started a new project with a new company. I am the lead. A member of my team, inserted herself as the lead for a key meeting that I was assigned to lead. Further, a person from a whole other company, insist that they attend my internal team meetings. Should I start looking now?

Start asking them to contribute no wallflowers. If they contribute, less work for you.

If not, tell them they are distracting and augment your meetings.

I find that everyone wants to be in meetings until it’s time to contribute and engage.

If they are checking in on you just use it to your advantage.

The prying eyes can be the path to great feedback and future success.

Stay positive … don’t get distracted

A few questions to ask yourself but you can also feel free to respond here: What does it mean to you to be the lead? Are there specific duties you’re in charge of? What are you supposed to delegate to your team? What are you comfortable delegating to your team? What reporting structure and feedback loop have you created for your team? Are you comfortable being the lead and speaking up for yourself?

It doesn’t mean the world to me to be the lead. Everything is very vague right now honestly. I am comfortable delegating anything they can handle. I would like to define things a lot more. I do feel comfortable speaking up for myself.

Perhaps

OK

I handleda very difficult and convoluted succession for a black family. My client was astute and intelligent. We got along great. His family was difficult. Willfully ignorant.

Part of the succession dealt with clawing back $450,000 in insurance proceeds that a niece fraudulent received from the decedent by making herself the beneficiary on policies. A separate attorney was hired to handle that part before I was hired to handle all other matters, including settling a $500,000 debt with the...

Hi! After years of being a clinician (OT), I’m pivoting into project management. I’ve taken courses and worked on small scale projects outside of my normal role. I have found it difficult to secure a project manager role, but I did receive an offer for a project coordinator position within my organization, after a few rounds of interviewing. Here’s the issue- I expected to take a little salary cut, but not a significant decrease in pay. What is the median pay? My research says it’s about $85k

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
