Last week, we were thrilled to unveil the new podcast project we've been hard at work on. Thanks to all of you for the warm reception and kind comments you sent our way. If you haven't checked it out yet, there's still time to catch up on the first episode of In Depth before we drop a new one on Thursday!

But if you're here for the long reads, not the listens, we've got you covered, too. We're excited to share that we'll be capturing the top takeaways from these podcast episodes in our signature long-form style articles, so you have the flexibility to read or listen to our guests' tactical advice, with the option to dive in right away or bookmark for later.

That starts today, with this write-up of our interview with Lambda School's Molly Graham. She dropped so much managerial wisdom in our first episode that it was tough to whittle down, but today on The Review you can read about the counterintuitive rules that she's come to lean on (and often finds herself repeating) as a manager.

6 Counterintuitive Rules for Being a Better Manager — Advice from Lambda School, Quip & Facebook

Here's a quick preview of what she had to share:

• Rule #1: Management is not leadership.
• Rule #2: Don't try to create robots. Focus on managing the what, not the how.
• Rule #3: Never create a second patient.
• Rule #4: Spend more time than you think you need to with your high performers.
• Rule #5: Set expectations, but know that you're not always the one who needs to bring the clarity.
• Rule #6: Remember direct is kind, and have the hard conversations.

We know today is a stressful, anxiety-inducing day for many, so we thought we'd offer up a new addition to your reading list in case you're looking to take your mind off the topic at hand. If not, we'll be here waiting when you're ready to return — and we have plenty more stories and episodes up our sleeves for the months to come. 

Thanks, as always, for reading and listening.
