Four Mistakes New Leaders Make 

In this video, we'll outline the Four Mistakes New Leaders Make
If you've been in leadership for a while, welcome to the realization that we are always growing and learning as leaders. And part of that growth involves examine our past beliefs and actions and considering whether or not we were mistaken. In my work with leaders across a variety of industries and sectors, I see a lot of mistakes. Well-meaning leaders-especially new leaders-often stumble into the wrong actions or wrong mentality when leading their team.
To help you avoid that fate, here are the 4 most common mistakes new leaders make, a different perspective, and a different action you can take to level up your leadership.
Calling All The Shots
Solving Problems Solo
Focusing On Process
Overlooking Purpose
Leading a team is cultivating a group of relationships and harness that relationship power into effective collaboration. And what all these mistakes have in common is that they overlook the role of those relationships and the importance of incorporating everyone before getting to work. But when you focus on “we” before you focus on work-you help your team do their best work ever.
