Hay I have watched your channel and it has been very helpful but in my review I did not make the cut. But I learned alot

[@patc2515]

As an employer, I just want to say cheers to any new managers that are here watching this on their own volition. Make leadership, management, and communication your craft. The more you understand your responsibilities, the less burdensome they will be. You're already 1 step ahead simply by being here and learning how your role works. Many new managers aren't doing this and will fail but not you. Good for you!!

[@BerndGeropp]

Thanks Pat

[@KasaBlanca007]

Spoken like a true leader.

[@castawayrem]

Thanks pat. You are doing more then most management does by giving praise and good feedback.

[@dirtyd2162]

[@das_nando]

This! I'm not new to leadership, but I am new to management. The skills are different, and it always helps to brush up on, and learn new skills. I'm here for the latter

[@kemiperian8818]

My boss is a great example of being able to trust. She will let people vent, visit with them, even end up friends with them. But she also makes the hard decisions and makes sure we all understand that she still has to be a boss.

[@desiree6461]

I was tossed into management positions at the age of 17, without any prior understandings, and now I wish I had seen this before! I just started working for a small company and I was promoted to manager a week ago, but for the first time I felt afraid. After watching your video, and a few more, I feel ready and able to step into this position and continue to build myself and others. Thank you for your videos!

Thanks for your nice feedback and congratulations to your promotion!

Same thing going here

[@DArson]

I just got promoted and my first week was hectic. My team was giving a hard time. Mostly not wanting to listen and did not see me as a leader. Once I had a meeting with them and listened to each of their problems, they all changed. I just hope I get better as time goes on. ty for this video.

[@MrSeek1971]

Yeah pretty much the same problem with Me.. It was hard for my fellow co workers see me as a supervisor.. I've made mistakes however I owned them and communicated that to my team.. told them I understand it's a difficult transition just as much for them as it is for me.. Communication can't be said enough how important that is.. dealing with different personalities and how to work around quirks they may have is just something that I'll learn in time.. Just know your not alone in these challenges 👍

I got a job this week as a supermarket duty manager and I have never been a manger for any organisation. Whilst i have worked in a supermarket for ten years in the past, I never become a manager as i was quite happy in my role. I then left and worked for the aviation industry for ten years and now i'm back in the supermarket game. I must admit, i'm absolutely pooping myself to put it in a nice way but I will put in my best efforts and this video is gold for me. Thanks for posting it.

[@squid9882]

As a manager or team lead, your team should come first and you should remember your responsibility for their well being as well as helping them meet business goals. It's very easy to simply become an executor of your bosses wishes and to let business goals be the only thing you're concerned with - this makes for a very poor manager and I've seen it time and again. Management often seems to forget that the people they're responsible for are people and this is one of the many things that ruins a job for someone. Take your teams opinions and needs into account in all your decisions because at the end of the day, they're what gives the company any worth.

Your team doesn’t work for you, you work for your team.

I have been appointed as Fresh Produce Manager role in a large supermarket. I have been 2ic for many years. But have only recently wanted to step up. I have found that if you make friends with everyone, it doesn't work out so well. You need to speak up when needed. Even if it's not popular. Be professional. Great information in video. Thank you !!

Thank you and much success in your new role

[@Rubri.C]

I love this !! I had a past manager who was terrible. For exactly the 3rd point. She swept in made changes without getting to know her team. Getting to understand the dynamics, unwritten rules and and why the team made on the first place....She was fired because she got no support from the team. End of story. I have learnt alot from her.

[@BerndGeropp]

That is awesome! Best of luck.

[@josdamillio]

I’m about 3 months into my management promotion. I’d say the things I have struggled with the most are: -Finding a balance between being too lax or too strict. The last manager was very lax and it has caused many issues. They are not used to being “managed” and I don’t want to change things too quickly and have people quit. -Becoming a manager to people who were once my equals and friends. It makes things very awkward and sometimes incredibly difficult to reprimand. -As I said, the last manager was not good, and the mess I’ve been left has been incredibly stressful.

[@BerndGeropp]

Thank you for sharing this. Yes, finding the right balance can be tricky. So is leading former colleagues and friends. Maybe this advice will help you. Being a leader is not about being popular but being respected. Don't shy away from unpopular decisions if you think that it is the right call. Maybe some team members will be upset at first. But over time they will respect you for that. As long as you act consistently and don't play favorites. I wish you much success in your new leadership role.

[@doyrayburn2668]

Just remember, even if you adopt a sincere Mentoring, Inspirational type leadership style, and begin to feel you have them inspired and motivated and happy, they are going to find things to criticize you for and will still talk about you behind your back. Its how people are and it comes with the territory.

[@Fitgirlme100]

This is what I find hard

[@glenndonnelly511]

10 years in Customer Service and Sales and Marketing across a variety of industries: no matter your position, someone will always somewhat talk behind your back. don't sweat it! Even if you are a naturally Empathetic person, who inspires your team, works hard and helps where you can.....someone will always be unhappy in their life and project it. Fuck em! they will eventually leave or get fired. @@Fitgirlme100

[@tishjohnson7309]

Thank u and appreciate that honesty 💯

[@JmanVK]

Yeah, but someone has to be the “bad guy”, giving the bad news sometimes. Basically no one really likes being told what to do.

[@ksandbergen]

I messed up my first time out. I was learning as much as I can but my main issue was not asking the right questions. I'm getting a second chance in management in the next week and will keep on my toes making sure I'm asking the right questions this time around. Also, I did try to be every body's friend while simultaneously being as fair and honest as possible. The ladder will do without the former. Last thing is that although I feel I was wronged, I take full responsibility and have learned from it. As a respectable leader should. Glad I found this channel! Cheers!

I’m currently assessing the company and determining how to approach my role. I find it challenging to assign tasks to colleagues who are much older than I am. Although I was hired as a technician, I have unexpectedly become a technical manager (AWP) for various reasons. I didn't question this change because I view it as both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. Your tips will be incredibly helpful, especially the "Knowing the Expectations" part. Thank you so much, Sir!

Thanks for sharing. I´m glad it was helpful. Much success in your new leadership role.

[@DestinyA83]

Excellent advice! Each one is helpful in every field. What I hated about my last manager (before quitting and starting my own small business) was she went out of her way to lie and get the old manager fired, took her place, told lies about me even though I had 15 years more experience than her, eventually drove me out the door!! Not friends to this day, 2 years later. Can not befriend a backstabber!
