tl;dr: fill out this ~2-min form for access!

In Some notes on common challenges building EA orgs, I noted that a lot of managers at EA orgs face a set of similar challenges related to being new to their role and not having peers or mentors within their org to learn from.

I thought it could help to have a shared, cross-organization discussion forum for management issues, so that if you're dealing with some kind of management problem for the first time—say, hiring, or coaching someone who's underperforming, or reorganizing a team—you can get advice from people who have done it before, even if none of your direct coworkers have. I intend to be pretty active answering questions, seeding discussion, etc. for the first while.

For now, the group is open to paid employees of EA organizations (borrowing the EA Ops slack criteria) with at least one paid direct report. If that's you, fill out this form for access!
