The lesson here is this: Talk to your team. They need to hear from you. They need you to be honest, be clear, and be transparent. They deserve nothing less from you–their leader.

your job is to be honest with your team and set expectations as best you can . . . even when you can’t give your team certainty, they still deserve your transparency and honesty.
