Most Common New Manager Mistake

In this episode of Project Joyful: The Podcast for Health-Centred Leaders, host Tracy Tutty dives deep into the pitfalls that new managers often face. Drawing from years of experience coaching professionals in their first year of management, Tracy highlights the most common mistake that can lead to burnout, team frustration, and decreased productivity.

Three Key Takeaways:

• Avoid Micromanagement:

New managers often continue their old job while trying to lead, which results in micromanaging and irritability.

• Set Clear Standards:

Successful managers ensure each team member understands the team's goals, deadlines, and acceptable standards.

• Prioritise Self-Care:

Managers need to regulate their nervous system and ensure they have enough energy to handle difficult conversations with kindness and respect.
