• What tools help you in your leadership role?

  For example, I love Slack (https://slack.com) when it has clear rules around its use. In the case of our team that was that stuff on slack wasn't urgent, but a way to note things that we would like from others when they had a moment. If we wanted something urgent we would go and talk to them. I also really liked Notion (https://www.notion.so) for organising thoughts, and ideas. I like Asana (https://asana.com) for...
