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'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.
