The set of eng/design/pm <> exec relationships is another to consider. I've found this to be the toughest to navigate as an EM. Some examples:

- "don't build it until I approve the design" -> build a high trust relationship

- "why aren't you building X?" -> work towards alignment

- "why is X taking so long?" -> milestone communication, tech debt education
