I just landed a job as a team leader for an IT company - start 02.01.2023 🙏🏽

I have heard once a person said something similar, that he used to loose temper easily and get emotional quickly when things are not following expectations, so he tried to imagine he is watching at himself from a mirror, he has more power of control on himself. He has now became a director of a tech company.

00:50 - Develop Self-Awareness
01:56 - Be genuinely empathetic
03:04 - Be a Forward Thinker -- many people describe this as 1-3-5 year plan, bigger picture, vision, company mission
04:12 - Take Accountability (Ownership) - Own up to things -- none of the credit, all of the blame
05:35 - Put your own spin on things - Probably mentioning uniqueness. He mentions psychological and nudging tricks, but doesn't actually list any.

My story of becoming a team leader was so dramatic, I used to be the team player type of guy instead of team leader type, i was on a long leave as I was having my college exams, and on one fine day i recieved my next month roster and message from management that I was appointed as a new team leader and will join them as a TL on my first shift, and the very next day was my birthday, I still remember I was so nervous and anxious, all my previous TLS resigned before i came from my leave, I had no one to teach what to do and how to manage everything by my self, it was so tough that I was almost on an edge of breaking, but now it's been 5 months, I only followed one quote that i found randomly on Google that "be a leader like you always wanted to have and do things differently instead of doing different things", now i m considered as one of the best TL and many of the staff wants to join my team, coz I keep my team so close that we now share same thoughts.

Thank you for these precious advices, I'm considering taking this role, but keep telling myself I'm not cut for it. My coworkers think otherwise. I guess I have the qualities for it and should stop telling myself it is not for me. I guess you are not a leader, but you become one, woth work and dedication, like everything in life :)

Human skills are important in self-awareness. It is the most certain requirement that is shared between all manager roles. Thank you.

New in my position and start managing people. Thank you for this!

EQ... is one that is very important IMO. Great list and 100% correct.

[SullivanStanley]

Really well put and after 20 years you must have seen your fair share of the good the bad and the ugly!

[danishhasnain]

I wanted to share this video with someone young who became a team leader recently, but I can’t because you said repeatedly that it’s very difficult to be a leader/manager. Great content still.

[decimatesable]

Thank you so much. I just recently got a promotion to a team leader of around 25-35 people and I'm quite nervous lol.

[shajulouis]

[letalis]

I've just subscribed to your channel! Thanks for the tips and tricks. I've just got a TL deputy position at my company. My future plan is to be a good Team Leader. It is a big forward stepping for me but I always dreamed about it. I hope I can achieve it in 2 years.

[maximojimenez]

Thank you for sharing what you know. Very helpful. Double thumps up; glad I found your YouTube account.

Good summary of what it takes to be a team lead. Cross your fingers for me, I'll get back with an update for myself lol

[bakunawascorpio]

My current Team Leader asks me or convinces me to replace her position because she has new tasks to handle and that would be a new team for the new process, and I am very reluctant to grab that position because I did not feel to be in that position handling a team I am currently working with. I am afraid of bigger responsibilities and I already think I could not do it. I already refused to up for grabs and said I am not fit for that. I am not seeing myself as a team leader but she just said, you are at an advantage in that position, you already knew the process because if we will look outside from our team that will be another adjustment. She is also seeing my potentials that I did not see in myself fitting in. Now, she just gives me time to think and later on my manager will also talk to me for possible promotion. I don't know, so far this time, I am not really interested.
