Managers (all), a thought: - it is not the responsibility of your team members to shirk additional work as you pile it on. 1. You have the experience to know what a reasonable workload is and 2. Should be engaged enough to know who is at or near capacity, and who is not. The sum of 1 & 2 should help you push back against client/PP and prioritize what must be done from what can be done. “You need to manage up” means managing down is not happening.

You're right, but you should walk your talk. Be sure to play your part as Director in sticking up for the managers who push back on clients, partners, and your requests too.
