WHY DOES YOUR TEAM THINK YOU'RE A WORSE MANAGER THAN YOU DO?

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

You suggest a new feature during a meeting. A week later, someone has built it, and the project you actually needed is behind. You thought you were sharing an idea, but they thought you were giving them a task. This is one reason founders and their teams can disagree about how well things are managed. Tell people whether you're asking for opinions or assigning work. When you do add a task, explain how it ranks against what they're already doing.
