New managers (especially those promoted from their high achieving individual contributor spots) tend to be great at the tactics. They have the 1:1 agenda. They have the goal setting sheet.

But they aren’t used to the ambiguity of managing to how things feel as much as how things are. If the metrics look good but the team is unhappy, you still have a problem.

If you’re stuck between the tactics and the vibes, reach out! I’d love to help your team combine both for maximum impact.
