Listen as much as you speak, simple as that. When people feel heard and seen, they will respect you a lot more and they will work with you to solve problems instead of seeing themselves in opposition to you.

thank you!

The best advice I ever got in business was someone telling me "choose your battles." There are times when you just have to let some things go. But there are also times when you have to dig in and battle it out. A lot of one's success comes down to knowing which choice to make.

Any advice on how to make the choice?

How to have tough conversations. It's key for this role and allowing yourself to learn how to have uncomfortable convos will be vital.

agree- it's a core skill for sure

When you budget for your engagements, what percentage of staff time is your budgeted manager time?

Managers don't reperform the work but have to do a detailed review. Thoughts?

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job
