When you let your team run short to avoid a hard conversation

My team is running on too little — not enough budget, not enough people, tools held together with tape. I know I should go up the chain and fight for more, but the negotiation makes my stomach turn, so I keep not doing it. I let them grind through with less rather than sit in one uncomfortable conversation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You let your team run on too little because fighting for resources is uncomfortable.
