This is meant to be an evergreen list of things that leaders should never do, hopefully I don't need to add many to this list!

Schedule unprompted meetings with no context
- For sensitive things related to another meeting yet to happen - just wait to schedule the meeting
- For all other cases, always provide context!
Send copy-pasted messages as a DM
- I can tell when the message wasn't written just for me
- If you intend to share it with all your directs, then post it in a shared channel!
Answer questions about the team, without talking to the team first
- Don't provide estimates for a project without talking to the team working on it directly first
- Don't say the team is doing well without asking how the team is doing first
