We did this and it went over well. If you’re going to do it, make it creative / agency worthy. Potentially something builds on your campaign if you can. Agree that it should be small and understated.

I have a direct report who is smart, passionate about her job and can be really innovative.

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"?
