Becoming a manager for the first time can feel overwhelming. You think you should have all the answers, but instead, you’re second-guessing everything. I know because I’ve been there. In this episode, I share the biggest mistakes I made when stepping into leadership at 24 and what I wish I had known to make the transition easier.
Have you ever felt like you have no idea what you’re doing as a leader?
Most first-time managers struggle with imposter syndrome, micromanagement tendencies, and feeling like they need to prove themselves. When I became a manager at 24, I thought leadership meant fixing every problem myself and making sure my team liked me. Instead, I burned myself out, made my team frustrated, and didn’t gain the respect I was hoping for.
This episode is all about the leadership mistakes I made so you don’t have to.
By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:
- The biggest mistakes I made as a first-time manager and what I should have done differently
- Why trying to fix everything yourself actually hurts your leadership
- How one unexpected challenge changed the way I lead my team
Mentioned in this episode:
- Silos, Politics, and Turf Wars by Patrick Lencioni – a must-read for improving workplace communication
- Finish by Jon Acuff – the book that reshaped my leadership mindset and personal growth
- My full list of top leadership books for new managers → IntentionalAction.net/books
