  • Summary

  • As a team lead, making unpopular decisions is hard.

    You don’t want to let your team down, create division, or jeopardize your company’s growth.

    So what do you? Is it your team against the world? Do you actually make the hard choices? In this episode, Joei walks you through the first hard decisions she didn’t make—and how that negatively affected her team and her management skills in the beginning. She learned quickly (once she noticed she was acting like Michael Scott 😂).

    Here are a few quick tips Joei learned:

    • Reorient yourself as a company lead, not just a team lead.
    • Share as much context as you can.
    • Take the emotion out of it.
