Everything will never be stable and clear, something will definitely go wrong. Usually when you least expect it. At first, sudden problems drive you into a stupor, create a feeling that you can’t cope. You need to give yourself time to survive a couple of such situations, and then it will become easier. You will take the next failures easier.
Delegate even if there is “no one”
This is one of the hardest steps, especially if you are used to controlling everything. The sooner you can accept that others may not do the task as well, the better your life will be.
Early in my career, I would often redo other people's work to make it "perfect" and then I burned out. By leaving the responsibility for completing a task to others, you can see how they begin to grow.
One of my current managers, who I once assigned lebanon whatsapp phone number to a task he could barely handle, is now doing it better than me.
Plan without excuses
Never live for today in the context of work. A manager needs to forecast the future in the perspective of six months, a year, and even several years, no matter how changeable the world is. Always develop a plan "B": when calculating the budget, searching for resources, contractors. Because, as I wrote above, something will always go wrong.
Who to read and listen to for self-development
First of all, ask people who have been through the same thing: a year or two ago. Unlike managers with ten years of experience, they still remember what it was like then. They will be able to share mistakes and conclusions.
I can also recommend a few books that are short on fluff and full of useful insights :
"From Good to Great". A book about how great leaders are actually quiet and unnoticeable. It has a lot about the strategy of hiring only the right people and a culture of discipline.
"45 Tattoos of a Manager". The book is a bit tough for zoomers and gay organizations, but, in my opinion, this is the best guide for managers in the context of the Russian mentality.
"Games People Play" This book will make it easier to resolve conflicts in a team and understand the motives of other people.
Instead of a conclusion
Leadership is not about perfection. Don't take failures personally. People will quit, projects will fail, but that's part of the journey.
When the pressure is paralyzing, it is important to remember that the only person who makes no mistakes is the one who does nothing. Learn from your mistakes and move on.
