Oh yeah, I've on both sides of this table.

#2 is critical, I forget how I learned this but do not be afraid to let the Exec know things are deviating from the plan. It'd be worse when things hit the fan and are an ugly mess.

When I was the Exec this is one of the first things I asked of my managers.

For #4 check out Wes Kao's post on how to be concise. Probably not what most think, full of gold https://newsletter.weskao.com/p/how-to-be-concise?r=1elq0f&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

#5 is great for your team and your kids, this is also something I asked of all my direct reports, "don't just bring me the problem, bring 2-3 solutions and your recommendation".

After a couple of tries this is how you empower them to deal with issues themselves.

Cheers.

Great points Ramon. Wes' piece is insightful. I like how you bridge the actions to parenting, kids learn best from first-hand action.
