The reason I reference ADD/ADHD (diagnosed/on medication since a relatively young age) is I’m finding delegation is extremely taxing/more than it should be in the (expected) shift from delivery/support analysts to truly managing a larger team.

Aware there is a few things going on here in the combination of being new in general and also bringing ADHD coping techniques into play, but have always found I’m most effective when I’m most mindful of my tendencies and good techniques to overcome them

D1- Thanks, seems like a really good starting point overall, found my activity for tomorrow’s flight!

Enjoy! We have been reading some of those articles in training and I found them super helpful to help reflect on how I want to lead teams going forward

@C there’s always one!

OP thanks for posting this - it goes to show you want to look out for your team and that's part of being a good leader. I've seen the opposite situation, i.e. leaders saying they are the way they are yet know to act very professional with clients and upper leadership (🤔) so my faith in humanity is restored today.

I’ve made it 5+ years in a NY M&A practice and have consistent exceeding expectations reviews. I’ve had a few mental breakdowns because of work during this time, but thankfully made it through. I’ve been in a near constant depressive/anxious state for family reasons for the last year and half, and am soon having my first kid. I’m scared shitless that I’ll spiral out of control both at work and at home if something doesn’t change soon. Any suggestions on how to keep this job and keep it together?

It means ICOs are no longer open to anyone. You have to be a certified investor with the SEC. This is why Filecoin is conducting their ICO with CoinList instead of on their own. CoinList ensures their ICO is only open to certified Wall Street investors and makes sure FileCoin's ICO is treated as a normal IPO.

Granted please correct me because IPO investing is something I don't know a ton about.
