Pros

Creates space for and expects ownership of your area, which provides challenges and opportunity for upward mobility. Managers can’t place holds on employee transfers, so you can switch teams easily if your environment isn’t working for you.

Cons

Creates space for and expects ownership, which can lead to long hours if you overcommit. Managers can’t place holds on employee transfers, so you have to take action to keep team member job satisfaction high, even in challenging times.

Advice to Management

Team members will switch teams if they don’t work for a good manager (you). You should do the same.
