EP 03 : Becoming a First-time Manager

We've uncovered some essential insights in the journey to becoming a first-time manager. Leading a team involves a shift from doing individual tasks to guiding others toward success. Misconceptions about authority and responsibilities can bring unexpected stress, and the experiences of new managers are a mix of victories and challenges. However, it's crucial to avoid the pitfall of trying to do it all by yourself.

Instead, a successful manager learns to delegate wisely, trust their team's expertise, and focus on strategic planning. Openness to different opinions and valuing diverse perspectives enriches the team's creativity and effectiveness. Moreover, stepping back to allow your team members to shine in the spotlight is a mark of great leadership.
