## Decisions Made

- [[]]

## People / Management

Feedback given, coaching moments, observations.

- Slimane was able to test the mogador. That's good, he has learned a lot on his own now. This reduces dependency on me and increases the team's resilience.

---

## Projects

Important project changes only.

- Will have to do a meeting with PO about live POC so that everyone is on the same page.

## Leadership Reflection

### What surprised me today?

- That indeed a manager shouldn't do the operation. I see that I am certainly capable of leading product and my team. 
- Product did give a hand, I've given them enough access to be independant. That's great since I was short on hand this time. Don't think and shouldn't think that it takes away from my team. We are still defacto the ones they come to for tech issues. 

### What did I learn today?

- That I'm hesitant with some decision. For instance, we got an amendment to a contract. They want to charge us $3500 to translate tags from english to french. Do we need it, yes, should I accept ? I'm hesitating, despite the fact that I know it would cause a political situation internally to see content in english. Sooo why am I hesitating ? It should be a yes, I still have money in this budget. 
- While writing the above paragraph, I now know that I will say yes. My fear or my hesitation stopped me from being logic. I need to stop seeking permission all the time. I will go forward with it. THis will be logged in the decision.

### What would I do differently next time?

- When I notice myself hesitating, I should ask:
  "Am I missing information, or am I simply uncomfortable making the decision?"
  
  If the information is sufficient, I should decide.
