You got promoted because you were great at the job — not because you were trained to lead.
You’re learning how to manage by trial, error, and maybe a few awkward one-on-ones.
Delegation feels risky: What do you hand off? To whom? What if they screw it up — or do it better?
You’re struggling to connect with your team because you’re still figuring out your role as a leader
Nobody told you that leading meant being a therapist, taskmaster, and cheerleader all in one
✅ Set clear goals for every team member (and actually track progress)
✅ Organize 1:1s with built-in follow-ups so nothing gets dropped
✅ Delegate tasks without falling into the “what if they screw it up?” spiral
✅ Celebrate wins before burnout takes over
✅ Keep all your notes, decisions, and action items in one central hub
