@leadershipmel: Most new leaders struggle, but not because they’re not smart or capable. They fall into these three common traps 👇 I’ve seen it time and again with the pre-executive leaders I coach. So if you want to avoid unnecessary stress and truly lead with confidence, this is your heads-up: 1️⃣ You try to know everything. You got promoted because you were the go-to expert. The one who always had the answers. But now you’re not just responsible for your work… you’re responsible for everyone’s. And the truth? There is no version of this job where you’ll know it all. You need to shift from expert to orchestrator—focusing on what matters most, not knowing it all. 2️⃣ You think your way is the best way. Look, your way might be a great way… but it’s not the only way. Your job isn’t to make mini versions of you. It’s to create an environment where your team can deliver great work, even if the “how” looks different. Micromanagement stifles creativity. Empowerment builds leaders. 3️⃣ You want to prove yourself and be the hero. This one’s sneaky. You already got the job. You don’t need to prove you’re capable—you need to show that you can build a capable team. That means shifting your energy from performing to leading. Support. Empower. Strategize. That’s what leadership is. Your success is no longer measured by how much you do. It’s measured by how much your team thrives. #careeradvice #LeadershipMindset #CareerGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutivePresence #professionaldevelopment #PersonalGrowth #WomenInLeadership #LeadWithConfidence #FutureLeader #CorporateLife #CareerSuccess #SelfTrust #CriticalThinking #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAdvocacy #CorporateSuccess #leader #leadership #leadershipskills #executivecoach
