I just landed a job as team leader in a brick production factory. Zero job experience, im now educating myself on how to be a better leader. Good luck to everyone with a new challenge on their plate!!

[@ProductivityACE]

Well done. I hope it goes well.

00:50 - Develop Self-Awareness 01:56 - Be genuinely empathetic 03:04 - Be a Forward Thinker -- many people describe this as 1-3-5 year plan, bigger picture, vision, company mission 04:12 - Take Accountability (Ownership) - Own up to things -- none of the credit, all of the blame 05:35 - Put your own spin on things - Probably mentioning uniqueness. He mentions psychological and nudging tricks, but doesn't actually list any.

[@ProductivityACE]

Thank you for the comment. I hope the video was interesting and useful. I didn't mention specific nudging techniques as that's a big subject in itself. I may do a follow up video on that subject. Regards, Paul

Would you have any advice for a retail manager who has somehow landed an interview for a support services team leadership role? I feel very under qualified but I want to give it all Ive got whether I'm hired or not

[@halfnhalf7941]

I am a team leader for 2 years, still finding difficulties to manage. I hope your tips and suggestions help my job to perform accordingly. New subscriber here. All the best

[@ProductivityACE]

Just put the work in to keep learning. I’ve been a TL for 20+ years and still find it difficult!

[@nisargpatel3425]

My story of becoming a team leader was so dramatic, I used to be the team player type of guy instead of team leader type, i was on a long leave as I was having my college exams, and on one fine day i recieved my next month roster and message from management that I was appointed as a new team leader and will join them as a TL on my first shift , and the very next day was my birthday, I still remember I was so nervous and anxious, all my previous TLS resigned before i came from my leave, I had no one to teach what to do and how to manage everything by my self, it was so tough that I was almost on an edge of breaking, but now it's been 5 months , I only followed one quote that i found randomly on Google that "be a leader like you always wanted to have and do things differently instead of doing different things", now i m considered as one of the best TL and many of the staff wants to join my team , coz I keep my team so close that we now share same thoughts.

[@ProductivityACE]

That is dramatic indeed!

[@luismiranda173]

This was helpful.Thank you.

[@A_n_n_E]

Thank you for these precious advices, I'm considering taking this role, but keep telling myself I'm not cut for it. My coworkers think otherwise. I guess I have the qualities for it and should stop telling myself it is not for me. I guess you are not a leader, but you become one, woth work and dedication, like everything in life :)

[@ProductivityACE]

Thanks for the support. Take the role! Chances don’t come along very often so have confidence that you can get better every day and go for it. Happy to advise and help you if you need.

Thanks. The good news is that over the last 10 years I've certainly seen much more of a focus on empathetic leadership and concern for mental health. So hopefully we are heading in the right direction.

@@ProductivityACE absolutely, let's hope things remain on course

[@yubi1707]

I have heard once a person said something similar, that he used to loose temper easily and get emotional quickly when things are not following expectations, so he tried to imagine he is watching at himself from a mirror, he has more power of control on himself. He has now became a director of a tech company.

I wanted to share this video with someone young who became a team leader recently, but I can’t because you said repeatedly that it’s very difficult to be a leader/manager. Great content still.

[@ProductivityACE]

No you can absolutely share them with anyone regardless of age. Being a good leader has nothing to do with age. In fact I’ve got a video coming out in a few weeks which talks about the advantages and disadvantages that younger people have when leading teams. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.

How did it go?

[@bakunawascorpio7106]

My current Team Leader asks me or convinces me to replace her position because she has new tasks to handle and that would be a new team for the new process, and I am very reluctant to grab that position because I did not feel to be in that position handling a team I am currently working with. I am afraid of bigger responsibilities and I already think I could not do it. I already refused to up for grabs and said I am not fit for that. I am not seeing myself as a team leader but she just said, you are at an advantage in that position, you already knew the process because if we will look outside from our team that will be another adjustment. She is also seeing my potentials that I did not see in myself fitting in. Now, she just gives me time to think and later on my manager will also talk to me for possible promotion. I don't know, so far this time, I am not really interested.

[@ProductivityACE]

Why do you think you cannot do it? Remember they wouldn’t ask you if they didn’t have confidence in you. Sure, it might be hard and there will be lots to learn but the challenge is what brings success. Being afraid is ok, we all are when we start new roles. But believe in your ability and be willing to learn and it could be the start of a great leadership career. All top and senior leaders had to start somewhere.

[@decimatesable]

Thank you so much. I just recently got a promotion to a team leader of around 25-35 people and I'm quite nervous lol.

[@decimatesable]

@@jaygatsby4879 my 1st week and it's pretty brutal. Especially night shift. I work in a poultry. So the people are doing the same motion for 8.5 hours. Hard to keep people in the department. I was a regular worker in the same department along side some of the same coworkers. Pretty awkward being the boss of people I worked beside

[@bobstone5511]

@@decimatesable my advice to you is, find another job with that same position or something similar. When you are a new supervisor in a new job, workers will get to know you and thats when you show then your true leadership. Be very vigilant and careful about the way you act because they can see it all and some may take advantage of that. Best of luck !

That’s good news but don’t celebrate too early. Being a young leader is hard and carries its own challenges. How will you manage and inspire people much older than you? How will you deal with your lack of experience? How will you relate to the mindsets of others from a different generation? Many things to consider. But great news for sure.

If I summarize this correctly, this is what I’ve learned. 1. Don’t power trip, view yourself in other people’s shoe before coming up with an action. 2. It’s everybody’s effort, not just yours, but be ready to protect them always. Everyone should get a piece of the pie. 3. Have a concise goal for the future so you have an idea on what direction should you take. 4. Being a Leader is a Privilege, not a right. Be sincere and responsible for the duties you carry out. If I miss something, I hope you guys can correct or add to it😁

[@alexdean557]

So here’s a question that I didn’t see a video for how do you deal with lazy people at work such as the people that are do the bare minimum and watch as I break my back. I’m not a team lead anymore I felt like I was becoming way to big of an ahole which bothered me so I chose to step down. Yet I feel that I am still responsible for everything everyone come to me from questions on the job and from management on why things aren’t getting done

What do you do when your team members becomes so negative on the situation talking bad about other departments ? How do you control it and what exactly do you say?

[@ProductivityACE]

I try and squash negativity as quickly as possible. Speaking bad about other teams can cause a lot of reputation damage so I try and get my teams to be as positive as they can. And if they really don’t like something then they should reach out and try to help people. Everyone has their own challenges and we don’t know what others are going through.
