I need advice on adapting to a more ACD role.
It really is a completely different skill set than what I've been doing these past few years and I feel like I'm going to fuck it up.

Were you promoted internally, or did you jump into the role at a new agency? The skills expected are going to wildly vary from one agency to another. There are lots of cross over from your previous Sr Writer position, plus the additional management role. You can ease into the management part. Lots of the stuff will only consist of giving feedback. Sounds easy, but I’m sure you’ve experienced your CDs or other superiors being terrible at this. Just give the type of feedback you would like to get. Actionable, constructive, clear, concise, honest and respectful. You can’t go wrong with that. Be open to pushback, but be firm when you know it’s wrong.

Hi all.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
