Make your team's work visible

Your team does good work and almost nobody above you hears about it. Your boss sees perhaps a tenth of what happens, and that tenth is mostly the problems. Quiet teams get less credit and fewer resources, and their managers get passed over — not because the work was worse, but because nobody knew.

This lesson is for new managers who assume good work speaks for itself, or who feel that mentioning wins is bragging. It covers why visibility is part of the job rather than vanity, a three-line weekly update that takes ten minutes, and the one detail that stops it sounding like self-promotion. You get the exact wording for the update and a way to include bad news without it backfiring.

Part of the Growth track. About two minutes to read, with a seven-day practice plan and a recall check a week later.
