+# Manager Productivity
+
+The manager trap: helping everyone else succeed while your own work never happens.
+
+---
+
+## What Actually Fails
+
+**Infinite Availability**
+"My door is always open" = your calendar is never yours. Teams learn to interrupt instead of problem-solve.
+
+**Meeting Colonization**
+Back-to-back 1:1s, team syncs, cross-functional alignments. No time to think, plan, or do actual work.
+
+**Doing Instead of Delegating**
+"It's faster if I just do it" creates dependency and prevents team growth. You become the bottleneck.
+
+**Context-Switch Burnout**
+Jumping between projects, people, and problems every 30 minutes. Mental exhaustion without tangible progress.
+
+**Unclear Delegation**
+Handing off tasks without decision authority, success criteria, or context creates boomerang work.
+
+---
+
+## What Actually Works
+
+**Office Hours, Not Open Door** — "I'm available 2-4pm for questions." Outside that: focused work time protected.
+
+**1:1 Prep** — 5 minutes before each 1:1 reviewing context, notes, goals. Better conversations, faster progress.
+
+**Decision Frameworks** — "If X, do Y. Only escalate if Z." Teams can decide without you for most things.
+
+**Manager Block** — 2 hours weekly for planning, strategy, documentation. Treat it like a board meeting.
+
+**Batch Similar Work** — All 1:1s on one day. All planning on another. Context switching kills depth.
+
+**Delegate Outcomes, Not Tasks** — "Make sure the report is ready by Friday" not "Write section A, then B, then..."

+
+## Energy Reality
+
+- People problems drain energy differently than task problems
+- Your emotional state affects the whole team — manage it
+- Saying "I need to think about this" is a complete answer
+- Protecting your time models healthy behavior for your team
+
+---
+
+## The Leverage Question
+
+Every hour you spend doing IC work is an hour not spent multiplying your team's output. Ask: "What can ONLY I do?"
+
+---
+
+## The Real Issue
+
+Manager productivity problems are often systems problems: unclear ownership, too many meetings, insufficient delegation. Fix the system, not just your schedule.
