CASE STUDY

Question 3: How can Fatima balance being an advocate for her team with reinforcing the organization’s constraints?

Try:

Avoid:

Blaming leadership or “the system," and undermining trust in the organization

Identifying alternatives like lateral moves, project leadership, or cross-team exposure

Explain the “why” behind the constraints, without blaming the organization

Sharing confidential internal deliberations that may lead to false hope

Continuing conversations with Juliet and leadership over time

Making your team feel that they’re stuck or unrecognized
