Management is Hard
A recent article from Harvard Business Review highlighted the obvious: management is exhausting. It discusses the challenges of managing others while also answering to higher-ups and offers recommendations for organizations to make life easier for their managers. At Rootstack, we have our own advice: if you want to make management less exhausting, take action.
Action to the Rescue
Focused energy generates more energy. For example, if you’re jet-lagged after a plane trip, exercising instead of napping can help reset your body. Feeling lethargic at your desk? Try doing a few push-ups, going for a walk, or taking deep breaths to invigorate yourself. The same principle applies in business: when you’re stuck doing the same tasks without making meaningful progress, it’s time to break the cycle and get moving.
Identify Key Challenges
Take a moment to pause. Grab a pen and paper, and spend five minutes quietly writing down the biggest blockers you and your team are facing—whether it's challenges for your direct reports, your personal work, or issues raised by your superiors. Don’t overthink it; just jot down your thoughts. The next day, after a good night’s sleep, revisit your notes and brainstorm solutions for those challenges. Chances are, you’ve identified a problem that could be solved with the right software.
