The team manager or director should be the face of the team and the primary interface into senior leadership. The team manager must protect the pressure of senior leadership from the team. Whilst visibility for colleagues is a great development opportunity, it is upon the team manager to prevent the pressure of competing priorities from both senior management and senior stakeholders. The manager is also responsible to ensure that the framework and ethos is of the team functions well. Failures in data and analytics teams are often blamed on the colleague who directly created the fault, however with a better framework in place, this fault would have been impossible, or at least spotted and resolved.
