This can lead to mistakes, especially in the first few years, which can affect not only their performance but also that of their team.

Lack of a clear vision<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Without a clear vision, teams do not know which direction to take and what exactly is expected of them. However, setting this direction and at the same time aligning it with the corporate strategy is a task for every manager. Tools such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/projektmanagement-abc-b-fuer-balanced-scorecard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project Management ABC: B for Balanced Scorecard\">balanced scorecard<\/a> can help to provide employees with clear expectations and goals. This helps new managers to present their strategy, link it to performance indicators, and thus communicate a clear vision. In an agile environment, in particular, a method such as <a href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/project-management-abc-o-for-okr-basics-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project Management ABC: O for OKR\">OKR <\/a> can also help to achieve goals and motivate employees to show a high level of commitment.    <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Micromanaging_and_not_delegating\"><\/span>2. Micromanaging and not delegating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a new manager, you still have to prove yourself, which is why many new managers are afraid of making mistakes and don\u2019t fully trust their employees. This, in turn, means that, on the one hand, they have difficulty delegating tasks and would prefer to do everything themselves. On the other hand, it leads many young managers to micromanage and exert too much control over their team. This combination is demotivating for many employees and, at the same time, places a significant additional burden on the manager.<br \/>To be able to let go a little without feeling like you\u2019re giving up control entirely, we recommend using a task management system. Kanban boards, for example, help you assign tasks while allowing you to monitor progress at any time without falling into micromanagement. This takes the pressure off both the manager and the team.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Too_many_promises_and_too_few_results\"><\/span>3. Too many promises and too few results<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Especially when you\u2019re new to a leadership role, you\u2019re highly motivated and want to aim just as high with your team. As a result, it\u2019s easy to end up promising more than you can ultimately deliver. Unfortunately, this can quickly cause you to lose your team\u2019s trust, which in turn can make collaboration difficult or lead to high turnover. In particular, when new employees are hired and they realize that promises aren\u2019t being kept, this can lead to major difficulties given today\u2019s job market conditions.<br \/>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to take a step back, be honest with yourself, and communicate realistically and transparently. Only make promises that you are certain you can keep. This way, you show your team that they can rely on you.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Lack_of_decision-making_ability_and_inconsistent_communication\"><\/span>4. Lack of decision-making ability and inconsistent communication<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Especially when you are in your first management position, you can be uncertain when making decisions without the relevant experience. However, this should not result in decisions that are regularly made being taken back or not being trusted to make decisions at all. While it is understandable that managers are also insecure, your team cannot learn to trust you in this way.   <br \/>The way they communicate can also be inconsistent. If they haven\u2019t yet found their preferred leadership style, new managers often fluctuate between different leadership styles, which creates uncertainty among their team. We therefore recommend that you always remain authentic, admit to mistakes, and speak openly with your new team. In addition, regular updates help keep your team informed at all times.<br \/>Making clear decisions is also easier as a new leader when you can rely on data, reports, analyses, and forecasts. A business intelligence solution or a management information system can provide you with this data, helping you make informed decisions. Integrated communication features also help you communicate the decisions you\u2019ve made and immediately translate them into action.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_6 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Not_learning_from_feedback_and_mistakes\"><\/span>5. Not learning from feedback and mistakes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Open communication also helps a leader to continuously develop themselves and their teamwork. New leaders, in particular, rely on feedback from their team for this and should respond openly to suggestions. With a great deal of empathy, one can also learn to understand a team\u2019s needs and concerns and address them. In this way, you can continue to grow. It also helps to view mistakes as valuable learning experiences, since mistakes are inevitable in the long run. It is important, however, not to repeat a mistake once it has been made.<br \/>In project management, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/project-management-abc-l-for-lessons-learned-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project management ABC: L for Lessons Learned\">\u201clessons learned\u201d<\/a> and a risk management system are helpful in this regard. Both support learning from past mistakes and identifying future difficulties early on.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Lack_of_recognition_and_appreciation\"><\/span>6. Lack of recognition and appreciation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To motivate employees, it\u2019s important to show them recognition and appreciation. However, in the hectic day-to-day work of a manager, this can quickly be neglected, and not every young manager is used to praising others. However, especially when your team or individual team members have performed particularly well, a lack of recognition can lead to frustration.<br \/>In fact, data analysis can be a valuable tool in this regard as well, since it allows you to monitor performance indicators and thus highlight successes. With clear sales figures from your CRM system, a high target achievement rate in the Balanced Scorecard or OKRs, or project milestones reached on time, you have clear data at your fingertips that allows you to easily recognize and acknowledge your team\u2019s performance.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_8 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Overloading_the_team\"><\/span>7. Overloading the team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a manager, you are also responsible for ensuring that your team is doing well. When taking on this task for the first time, you might overload your team due to inexperience.  On the one hand, this may be because you don\u2019t yet know the limits of what team members can handle or how fast they work, and some of them are reluctant to say \u201cno.\u201d On the other hand, it may also be because you aren\u2019t sufficiently familiar with specific areas of responsibility, so you can\u2019t estimate the actual workload and end up demanding too much at once. No matter what the reason for the overload is\u2014as a manager, it\u2019s important to recognize the signs early on and address them. <br \/>To prevent overload from occurring in the first place, a task management, project management, or portfolio management system can help prioritize projects or tasks and allocate <a href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/project-management-abc-r-for-resource-management-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Project Management ABC: R for Resource Management\">resources<\/a> efficiently. If the necessary experience in specific work areas is initially lacking, it can also be helpful to ask team members to estimate how much time they\u2019ll need to complete individual tasks.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_9 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Avoid_difficult_conversations_and_poor_conflict_resolution\"><\/span>8. Avoid difficult conversations and poor conflict resolution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>New managers often shy away from difficult conversations, which can lead to unresolved problems and tension within the team. Whether the issue is problematic team dynamics, performance issues, or conflicts\u2014if these difficulties aren\u2019t addressed and resolved, they could escalate in the future. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for new managers to find the courage to address such issues openly, even if it\u2019s uncomfortable.<br \/>Especially when it comes to performance issues, it\u2019s helpful to bring facts into the conversation to help find a positive solution. So, for example, use software that provides you with this kind of data.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_10 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Neglecting_further_development\"><\/span>9. Neglecting further development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both the development of your team and your further development should be a priority for a manager to remain successful and, above all, adaptable in the future. However, both not only cost money but also time, which is not available in abundance, especially for a new manager who wants to prove themselves. It is therefore important to keep a constant eye on further development, for example through lessons learned or sprint retrospectives in projects. Major further training should also be considered, for example by planning it into the strategy and including it in the balanced scorecard as a trackable development goal.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_11 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Focus_on_short-term_success\"><\/span>10.

This could be, for example, increased sales figures within a short period or a project that is completed very quickly. While these are great successes, it is also important to look at the long term. For example, a short-term increase in sales figures may be due to a campaign that subsequently does the company more harm than good. The quick completion of a project cannot be repeated because the team was completely overloaded during the implementation of the project. So as important as short-term successes are, we recommend good strategic planning with a balanced scorecard and strategic portfolio management for a long-term perspective and sustainable success.      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_12 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Stepping into a leadership position comes with many challenges, but with the right strategies and tools, new leaders can avoid common mistakes and lead their teams successfully.
