When you’re a manager of a team, you’re going to have to figure out how to make sure that the work that needs to get done, gets done. And you’re going to need to figure out how to do that in a way that makes sense - from a budget and a project perspective.

But you also want to make sure it makes sense from a HUMAN BEING perspective.

One of the biggest mistakes creative managers make (imo) is that the second they run into an extensive coverage need, first thing they do is throw their employee’s well-being out the window (usually along with their own). It’s “emergency mode”, all hands on deck 24/7, except that "emergency mode" doesn’t ever end because the requests and projects keep coming and coming.
