What advice do you have for mentoring junior team members and driving alignment across product, sales, and marketing? I am stuck in idea land on what I can do for my team but executing has not been looking so good. I would love to hear about some ideas that are working for you!

What helped me was setting up regular, informal check-ins where everyone from product to sales to marketing shares what’s top of mind that week. Also, creating clear, simple docs outlining shared goals and how each team contributes keeps folks aligned. Mentoring-wise, I focus on asking lots of questions instead of just giving answers; it helps juniors own their work and think bigger.
