Last year, I woke up to some unexpected news: our company had been acquired.
Up until then, our team had been working on a multi-year project. We were just a few months away from our first alpha release. But seemingly overnight, everything changed.
Everyone on the team had questions, myself included. Was our big, ambitious project even relevant anymore? What parts of the business would our new owners invest in, and which parts would they cut? How soon would they take over? And when they did, would they choose to keep any of us around?
The biggest question on my mind though was: how do I support my team during this strange and uncertain time?
In the months that followed, I adopted some practices to help me navigate these uncharted waters.
