<font color="aa00aa">Piggy, never tell anything, just briefed my direct reports on who should take over , how weekly meetings are to be runned etc. Only my reporting manager knows.
If you don't say, people also don't really dare to ask. I just keep things work focused when I talked to them as I was handing projects over...
Most people just said, "Are you alright? I say yup yup, don't worry"</font>
