Review and coach on their work, own performance and career development conversations, set clear expectations, and help each person build on their strengths and grow their business and technical skills. Prioritize across multiple concurrent projects, align the team's capacity with the goals of the Enterprise area and the company, and find ways to make the team more efficient, including setting
