Starting out on Your Leadership Journey

Just starting out on your leadership journey? Newly promoted and feeling a little disorientated? Here are some quick insights on what works me when I am leading new teams:



Know your Team
You’re not going to win your team over immediately. Start by getting an idea of their capabilities and interests.

Communicate
Teams work best when everyone knows what’s going on and who’s responsible for what. Nothing destroys a team faster than mistrust or the hiding of information.

Relax
Leading into the unknown is like the beginning of a polar journey. Everyone is tense, and itchy. Then you start to ski, and you forget about everything else but the task. Forget about the noise; focus on the goal.
