    "Couple of clarifying questions here before I begin. Is my assumption right that we would like to prioritize requests/features? Do we have any specific constraints to consider before we move ahead. as in resourcing constraints, schedule or budget constraints or should we just factor in as part of our overall approach, if not then General approach for prioritization: Understand the business objectives and see if the features aligns with the business objectives.

    "I always ask to clarify if this is a brand new team. If so, then I focus on bringing in people with strong technical aptitudes(since I'm hiring for software engineering), but also team members that have experience mentoring and good communication is a must. I look for people who have leadership qualities. I emphasize that building a brand new team isn't something I can do on my own, so the initial hires of that team are very important to help me expand it."

    "Conflict is unavoidable for any project. The most important part of moving past conflict is to understand why it manifested in the first place. I would start by understanding: What type of conflict is it? 1 on 1, with another team, with another function? What shape it? Is it about communication, strategy, implementation, style? What impact does it have? Will it affect our timelines, how we work together, etc How do I feel about it? Is it a thorn in my side or something"
