Struggles as a new leader
My biggest struggles when I was first promoted into a leadership position were:
Feeling alone
Working around the clock
Feeling like I wasn’t good enough
Effectively managing and delegating to my team
Not knowing what I had to do to support my individuals
Balancing the demands of my new role with previous commitments
Anyone who is reading this who has had the same struggles, here’s my advice:
Take the time to listen to those on your team before making any major changes.
Regular check-ins and open communication can help establish trust and positive working relationships.
Prioritize effectively and delegate tasks to team members based on their strengths and interests.
Set realistic expectations for yourself and seek support from others when necessary.
Ask for help! Don't be afraid to reach out to others for support and guidance.
What else do you struggle with?
I’ll advise as best as I can from my experience.
