Career Strategy Guide
“My launch slipped a week and the team is deflated. What do I do?”
A one week slip is weather, not the mountain. Tell the team what the date change buys them: a cleaner launch and a story they can be proud of. Then quietly protect their reputations upward. Send your boss a note framing the delay as a quality call you made. Deflation lifts when people see the slip managed, not hidden.
