RFC: Rename #spt_managers to #spt_leadership
Situation
The channel description topic (TIL, thanks Matthew!) for #spt_managers reads:
Public discussions with support leadership for the support team
The channel name is out of sync with the description, as Support leadership should at a minimum also include Staff+ support engineers and any other IC leader within Support.
Proposal
I propose that we rename #spt_managers
to #spt_leadership
to be more inclusive of more types of leadership within Support.
Proposal impact
If we change:
- Benefits
- Signals to Support team members that Support leadership includes ICs as well.
- Costs
- The new channel name will take some getting used to. As the channel's audience is meant to be primarily Support, the impact on the wider organisation is minimal.
- Staff+ Support Engineers and other IC leaders within Support may need coaching to feel enabled and empowered to make full use of the channel.
- Update handbook - see

's excellent work here: #5826 (comment 1752858142)
If we don't change:
- Benefit
- Status quo maintained, no additional effort needed.
- Costs
- IC leaders feel excluded from Support leadership.
