As a team lead, I believe in being honest with my staff but recently, our company’s been facing some tough challenges. I want to keep them in the loop without causing unnecessary panic or stress but I don't know how to do it subtly. It’s a fine line between transparency and keeping spirits high. How do you all decide what to share and what to hold back? I don’t want to sugarcoat, but I also don’t want to demoralise the team. Any advice from other managers?

This is something I’ve wrestled with too! I try to be honest, but I avoid overloading them with all the details. Share what’s relevant, but focus on the positives: progress, teamwork, and how everyone’s efforts matter. It’s about keeping the team in the loop without drowning them in negativity.
