‘Stop looking at confrontation as a negative.’ Straight up! You gotta see it as an opportunity for your team and yourself to improve. Excellent video buddy!!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Exactly. Thank you sir!

[@devonkruders2396]

I needed this pep talk. I was just promoted from chef to Food services manager. I am so excited for it

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Congrats!! 🎉🎊

[@edelachtbare100]

How did it go?

[@ryugo7713]

When I was much younger, a guy I used to work with once told me that “no one wants you to have more than them”. That has stuck with me to this day.

I agree. I’ve always said, people want you to do well , just not better than them. It never fails when one starts growing in their career, finance or romance, whatever the case, one will always makes the mistakes thinking the same people continue to cheer them on.

[@garymcgraw925]

Needed this! Got promoted to Program Director at my nonprofit at a very young age.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Congrats to you! 🎊🎉

[@zacdrake3]

Another great video! When I was first a new supervisor it was a strange transition because I started overseeing those that I used to work with as peers(as in same role), and when I had to enforce policies and procedures that were already on place or even worse, new ones, it created a tension. I wish I had seen this video a year ago to help me remove it as a personal tension and view it as a work dynamic tension.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Appreciate the comment. And at least you know it NOW my friend 👍🏻

[@GingaNinjaTV13]

Yo the only people I trust at my org are my team and my best friends’ team. I will take the fall for any of them because I know they’d never actually let me down. I think talking about your team like they’re the authority in meetings outside your team goes a long way in instilling that confidence. I often voice my decision making process out loud, too, so they can understand the context I’m looking at when making a decisions, why I’m going with option c instead of a or b, and so if someone asks them to defend the decision, they can provide reasonable explanation

[@xrik7865]

A lot of these could even apply to me, as a standard sales floor associate, non-managerial. Thank you man.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

[@jasonbailey1981]

You are awesome everything you say i aee in my head as situations i have been through or seen in the past year!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

I appreciate you 👍🏻

[@myang651943]

I needed to heard this today. It gave me so much more confidence.

[@GiGiChosen]

STOP 🛑 insisting that employees are bonafide friends. As long as coworkers can collaborate to get the job done in a team generated way, don’t try to dictate who my friends are. COWORKERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!

[@straightoutofstrat8722]

You have hit the nail on the head.

[@GeraldDeBelen]

This is the very pep talk I needed!

[@youvotedforthis5340]

Going from a supervisor in the military to the civilian world is going to be weird i feel like im geared backwards thank you for this!

[@GiGiChosen]

STOP 🛑 prying into people’s personal business. I only tell you what I want you to know.

[@straightoutofstrat8722]

Yep, definitely.

[@MalitesZA]

Timing is great for the advice, I am new here and found it at the right time.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Welcome and congrats

[@chillero3heftig712]

"its easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission" a rule i implemented with my birthgiver since i was 4 so i could do literally anything i want and she didnt understand why i didnt ask, even tho she tried to drive the point home.

[@lumbeemamacimaglia9850]

I'm so glad I found your channel 😊 , I got a new position at a new company. And it's a position I've never had before. And your words are very inspiring and I feel alittle more confident now. I start next week and I'll definitely be watching more of your videos. 😁😁😁

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Welcome and congrats to you!!

[@myang651943]

Congrats! How is your job going so far?

[@bradleyanderson4315]

In one agency every new manager moved and repainted the conference room.

[@dings215]

"They wouldn't have hired me if they didn't need me to run things (buncha idiots can't do their job without me, pffft) so I'm going to make some changes around here. The first person who speaks up under me - gone." - every new manager in corp on day 1.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Hahaha… this really made me laugh. Like legit LOL… and that’s because it’s SO TRUE! Also because how you wrote it is how I would say it lol Unfortunately 😢

[@jefftan622]

is it possible to be a villa or hotel manager for a fresh graduate?

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Anything is possible. Yes. General Manager, not likely

[@jasonbailey1981]

Delegation "ACES IN THERE PLACES"

[@littlehomeforest5972]

What do you do when someone from your team just behaves in a passive aggressive and unprofessional manner day one of working with you? Doesn't say hi or acknowledge you when in the car park/just us two. When you ask this person to complete something simple they delegated to someone who isn't qualified to do so. Storms off in a hostility way.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

This will be addressed on a future podcast! Thank you 👍🏻☕️ www.mikeashie.com/podcasts/no-nonsense-leadership-podcast

Welcome

[@jimlahey9158]

I'm 3 months into my first management position at a different organization. The employees seem pissed they had to outsource and not put them into the position so its been super stressful but these videos have been helping me out a lot

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Glad to help… and I get it. Where I worked, those that were “brought” in had the toughest time… that said, the few that were good people a d good leaders ended up with great employee relationships. Keeping doing the “right thing” and it’ll be alright my friend 👍🏻

[@jimlahey9158]

@@LeadershipwithMike thank you

[@jtixtlan]

I’ve been the new manager several times in my career. Now I’m an associate in my 60s, with a mid-20s new manager. He is intelligent or works hard, but makes the biggest rookie mistake - micromanaging with an authoritarian style. We wanted him to succeed, and we welcomed him genuinely. Now we are unhappy at work and no longer doing extra. His whole team is updating their resumes.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Grab this kid and start coaching him!

[@bradleyanderson4315]

I have tried that and was promptly ignored. I try to save a new manager’s bacon once.

[@cashmerehazel21]

1. Don't assume others do not like you. Let them decide, don't decide for them. 2. Don't assume your friends are still your friends (especially for internal promotion). 3. Stop fearing or avoiding confrontation. Use confrontation as an opportunity to build trust. 4. Stop asking for permission. You were hired because someone believed you can do the job. Take charge. 5. Stop doing all the work. Delegate! You need to make sure the work gets done by the right people at the right time. 6. Stop doubting yourself. Your employees are watching you - are you self-confident? 7. Stop doubting your team. Assume that they are mature enough to handle the tasks and situations. 8. Don't assume the team knows everything. Keep an open line of communication.

[@GiGiChosen]

In general, managers need to STOP 🛑 overworking their top performers while allowing other employees to do enough to get by and stay under the radar! I’ve respectfully addressed that managers need to utilize all employees to avoid over utilization of top performers.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

💯 I find it’s sometimes easier to lean on those who you know will do the work and do it right. But absolutely, the work needs to be spread out!

[@devonkruders2396]

I had this happen to me but you know what the reason was they were doing this to me. They were training me and harder on me because they saw me as the next manager. As of last Monday after 4 years of being leaned on and 5 years with the company I started as a new manager.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Amazing… and this is a great insight!

[@GiGiChosen]

@@LeadershipwithMike Thank you for your reply. I understand the perspective, but it isn’t right. Most employees desire to have work life balance. I don’t live to work I work to live. I think the answer lies in hiring. Stop hiring sub par employees that get to skate. I am only one person and it’s not fair that I am constantly assigned more because I am a top performer than those you can’t trust to do the work. Everyone needs to step up and if they are not up to your standards they need to be removed from the team. I get that everyone is not a top performer or key player. I am now looking for other employment because of this and I really enjoy the company. I just need something with more balance.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

You are 💯 correct! I was just saying as a new manager, I would lean on you if you’re the top person. That said, I would also let you know I needed your help And it was only to be for a short period. Because like you said, better hires are needed.. or more likely… better training.

[@kevindrake714]

Perfect timing I just got promoted. 😁

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Congrats on the promotion!!!!

Enjoyed this one Mike. So much about self-awareness and emotional intelligence skills!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Thank you sir

[@AprilHare]

I'm currently in a situation where a coworker wrote a cc:d email to our boss's boss because we were dissatisfied with the way we're being treated. Instead of doing as you suggest, he took that opportunity and burned it by delegating it back to the boss we were complaining about. The backlash is awful. Us notewriters are being left out of chat rooms and being treated unfairly. If I quit, I'm sending them your video.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

I’ll be here for them lol 🥊

[@acfollowjcor318]

How about those managers and supervisors that only delegate and do NOT help workers and overload them with work? Is it still only about to delegate? According to this video is all about the manager/supervisor not about to help to get the job done, disappointing.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

They need to know how to delegate. But they also need to know how to roll up their sleeves and help out! 💯

[@acfollowjcor318]

My supervisor spends lots of time doing nothing or watching videos in his phone.

[@kingofslotsmillion3263]

It's day 5 as a new department Supervisor. There is only 1 manager in my plant . And everyone else is a Supervisor. There are serial departments. I'm currently on day 5 and I'm having ask the lead for information on the day to day. Also on how the department functions since the previous Supervisor received a promotion. Does this take away my respect as a leader? I've followed your steps this far. I'm not sure how long it will take to get up to speed. I'm taking lots of notes. So I'm hoping only a few weeks. But I'm worried this makes me seem un worthy😂. Is this a normal feeling. For instance they are supposed to get O.T approved by me. And they decided to take it upon themselves to stay today. Wich I will adress tomorrow
