I came back from vacation to 924 emails and 99+ messages on my MS Teams. But reviewing it all wasn't my first step when I logged back in, instead I reached out to all 4 people I delegated my tasks to and asked for a quick status, and I reached out to my manager to see what my top priority for the day is. What is your first step when you get back from a longer vacation?

I would like to give an advice to a friend of mine who does not really know how to run 1:1 with his team. Can any of you share some wisdom on how you approach this type of meeting, both as a manager and as a IC

I've started to work on the document describing the first topic proposed by @Nauman Mithani . Here is the link -> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zprJUzpimkU4nU56dQGkxMHb3kI_gW72sqoECfJ_pyQ/edit?usp=sharing Please read it and review it, comments are encouraged and welcomed. After the document is done, I till turn this into a PPT of some sort and record the video presentation of it.

When I asked ChatGPT about distinct qualities of leadership it generated the following: - Visionary Thinking: The ability to see the big picture, set direction, and inspire others to follow. Empathy: Understanding and valuing the perspectives, needs, and emotions of others. - Adaptability: Responding effectively to change and navigating challenges with resilience. - Accountability: Taking responsibility for decisions, actions, and outcomes while fostering a culture of ownership within the team. - Inspiring Action: Encouraging and motivating others to take initiative and perform at their best. - Integrity: Leading with honesty, fairness, and consistency, which builds trust and credibility. - Effective Communication: Articulating ideas clearly and fostering open, two-way communication. - Collaboration: Building strong relationships and enabling teamwork to achieve goals collectively. What do you think should be on the list?
