@garyvee: Most new managers think that becoming a manager is the “graduation.” Truth is, it’s the reverse. Leaders work for their employees. That means you have to understand what your employees want at a deep level. You have to be constantly adapting to their needs and what they want from the organization. When you go from being someone who “executes” to someone who’s managing a team, you go from trading on IQ to trading on EQ. You go from doing the actual work to listening to employees, catering to what they want, taking the blame, and being the bigger person. #leaders #managers #micromanager #boss #work
I just hate asking people to do stuff. I feel the stress I cause them and if they decide not to do it, now I have to hold them accountable, like who am I? This is a personal problem with me I know

Thank you. I feel almost “lazy” to delegate. I’m swamped and my team has nothing to do because I’m not “leading” im stuck “doing”.

Switching from doer to leader means putting your team first and mastering EQ over IQ. True leadership is about growth and support.

🙄Pleasssseeeeee. The individual who put them in that first-time managerial role failed to TEACH THEM HOW TO LEAD…. Quit expecting the world without providing direction…

How this applies in practice:
• Shift mindset: From “I need to do it myself” to “How can I equip others to do it?”
• Promote ownership: Encourage autonomy and decision-making.
• Support over micromanage: Provide guidance, coaching, and enviroments where learning from mistakes is safe.

Definitely. Leadership isn’t about more power, it’s about more responsibility.

Agree. Also, know the difference between being a Manager and a Leader and when to use the relevant skills from each for the best outcome.

Oof… I am a “if you want it done right, do it yourself” person, so delegation is difficult for me. I will practice though.

You’re not in charge. You’re responsible for those in your charge. Great leaders are not responsible for the job; they’re responsible for the people who are responsible for the job. Leaders own their team’s development and well-being, not just outcomes.
