My boss wants results, but gives zero direction 😩
I’ve been put in charge of a new project, and while I’m happy to take it on, I really wish my boss would give clearer expectations. There’s no proper briefing, no benchmarks to follow, just “you figure it out” vibes. I want to do a good job, but how do you deliver when even the goalpost isn’t clear? I’m managing a team and trying to motivate them, but I feel like I’m the one running on guesswork. How do others handle this kind of leadership?

had a similar experience last time where I basically became both the planner and the boss 😂 What helped was looping in my team early, being transparent about the vagueness, and co-creating the roadmap together. At least we were confused as a team 😅
