The art of delegation honestly.

like

Being mindful that now everything you say is being perceived and you are the pulse of setting a mood.

like

I agree with delegation. Also, supporting team growth, which includes leaving room for mistakes (trust), and having fierce conversations when needed.

Delegation, and how I track the value I personally bring to the organization. It was easy to judge that when I was a software engineer, because you could tie it to the number of tickets you complete and things like that. As a strategy focused vp, I am designing and delegating to implement things for 1, 3, 5 years out. I’ve also spent a lot of time working on my management skills and my power skills (presentation, communication, feedback receiving and giving, etc) and on my business acumen.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative. However she carries this enormous weight of responsibility, for needing to do everything, do it right, make sure it's perfect, not trusting colleagues to help. It creates dread and panic and overwhelming workload and a terrible attitude for her and I am speaking with her this week to start to shift her mindset. Any tips in navigating how to let go of this heavy idea of "responsibility"?

It feels very telling that there are so few people in this group. Any thoughts on that? It feels like the vast majority of people managers only want the title and don’t want to worry about their people.
