Succeeding as a Manager -Mistakes and Strategies to Overcome Them

Taking on too much	Acknowledge that your job differs fundamentally from that of an individual contributor Distance yourself from the detail work Focus on how your efforts contribute to the team, project, or organization Delegate – take small risks initially by delegating based on the strengths of your team members
Not asking for help	View your relationships with your boss or senior managers as partnerships Clarify the expectations your boss has for you and your work Meet regularly with your boss to build your relationship and to take advantage of his or her knowledge and experience
Projecting a lack of confidence	Be careful to always project a positive, professional, and confident demeanor Set clear expectations and directions about how you intend to manage, and be consistent Take risks by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to take on tasks you're unfamiliar with Give credit to others; acknowledging their success will build both your confidence and theirs Express feelings that you don't want to be modeled in a safe place.
