Hay I have watched your channel and it has been very helpful but in my review I did not make the cut. But I learned alot
As an employer, I just want to say cheers to any new managers that are here watching this on their own volition. Make leadership, management, and communication your craft. The more you understand your responsibilities, the less burdensome they will be. You're already 1 step ahead simply by being here and learning how your role works. Many new managers aren't doing this and will fail but not you. Good for you!!

This! I'm not new to leadership, but I am new to management. The skills are different, and it always helps to brush up on, and learn new skills. I'm here for the latter
My boss is a great example of being able to trust. She will let people vent, visit with them, even end up friends with them. But she also makes the hard decisions and makes sure we all understand that she still has to be a boss.
As a manager or team lead, your team should come first and you should remember your responsibility for their well being as well as helping them meet business goals. It's very easy to simply become an executor of your bosses wishes and to let business goals be the only thing you're concerned with - this makes for a very poor manager and I've seen it time and again. Management often seems to forget that the people they're responsible for are people and this is one of the many things that ruins a job for someone. Take your teams opinions and needs into account in all your decisions because at the end of the day, they're what gives the company any worth.

I just got promoted and my first week was hectic. My team was giving a hard time. Mostly not wanting to listen and did not see me as a leader. Once I had a meeting with them and listened to each of their problems, they all changed. I just hope I get better as time goes on. ty for this video.

Yeah pretty much the same problem with Me.. It was hard for my fellow co workers see me as a supervisor.. I've made mistakes however I owned them and communicated that to my team.. told them I understand it's a difficult transition just as much for them as it is for me.. Communication can't be said enough how important that is.. dealing with different personalities and how to work around quirks they may have is just something that I'll learn in time.. Just know your not alone in these challenges 👍

I got a job this week as a supermarket duty manager and I have never been a manger for any organisation. Whilst i have worked in a supermarket for ten years in the past, I never become a manager as i was quite happy in my role. I then left and worked for the aviation industry for ten years and now i'm back in the supermarket game. I must admit, i'm absolutely pooping myself to put it in a nice way but I will put in my best efforts and this video is gold for me. Thanks for posting it.

This was exactly what I need to know for my start next week. Thank you a lot!
Thank you very much I just recently got promoted to supervisor and I want to be effective successful and respected the right way the first time
Excellent advice! Each one is helpful in every field. What I hated about my last manager (before quitting and starting my own small business) was she went out of her way to lie and get the old manager fired, took her place, told lies about me even though I had 15 years more experience than her, eventually drove me out the door!! Not friends to this day, 2 years later. Can not befriend a backstabber!
I am a new manager and enjoyed your video very much. I will begin using or implementing the interpersona. pieces of your discussion as best as I can.
Hi Brend just wanted to say thank you, your advice has been absolutely amazing. I will be watching more videos.
I enjoyed the video very much. Had alot of great information I need and help sharpen my leadership skills. I was offered a supervisor role but I didn’t accept as I was joining another company. However this mindset will help me achieve where I need to be one day. Thank you once again, future manager in the making .
Thank you for this. I was doing #3 and #5 in Retail and wasn’t doing #1 and wondering how I wasn’t performing well as management.

I messed up my first time out. I was learning as much as I can but my main issue was not asking the right questions. I'm getting a second chance in management in the next week and will keep on my toes making sure I'm asking the right questions this time around. Also, I did try to be every body's friend while simultaneously being as fair and honest as possible. The ladder will do without the former. Last thing is that although I feel I was wronged, I take full responsibility and have learned from it. As a respectable leader should. Glad I found this channel! Cheers!

I'm a manager for the first time after only working there for six months. I'm very nervous and I'm pretty sure I was only promoted because they were short on managers and I happened to be a good worker. The thing is I have issues with telling people what to do. I'm a pushover and I know I'm tolerating way more than is okay. But I don't have the heart to be stern with people. I have workers who sit around or disappear while on the clock. If I were a manager of a better store it'd be easier. But I just so happened to become a manager of a place that was being on the verge of closing down. And the people they hire are always lazy, or high schoolers who honestly couldn't give a shit

Mayden. Mayden, based in Bath in the UK, switched to a flat structure where "everyone would have an equal say in the life and direction of the company." Instead of managers there are 'volunteer internal peer coaches' who support their colleagues and help them find their own solutions.
