Returning from long parental leave
summary
Takes six months of parental leave, returns to a reorganized team where half the team is new and there are now two direct reports, and tests a personal onboarding plan that emphasizes restoring regular one-on-ones, frequent syncs with the new manager, and meetings with business partners. The claim is concrete: short-term goals and reclaimed calendar responsibilities let confidence and impact recover; the surprising result is that teammates grew while away and returning responsibilities actually fit and worked as planned.
