How can you protect your own well-being as a manager?
A common but rarely discussed challenge of being a manager is that multiple layers of stress can build up, resulting in an emotional crisis.
Imagine this: During a 1:1, one of your engineers comes to you with a conflict they have with another engineer. In the next meeting, another report asks why they’re not being considered for a promotion in the upcoming cycle. Right after that, another member of the team needs your help because they are struggling with work due to the pandemic.
As a manager, you’re also in charge of the delivery of several important projects.
