Teams don’t quit jobs—
They quit managers who:
Fall into traps no one warned them about.
New managers, you will face these 7 traps:
🔻 Taking credit for the team’s work
🔻 Not setting clear expectations
🔻 Avoiding tough conversations
🔻 Making decisions too slowly
🔻 Failing to delegate
🔻 Ignoring feedback
🔻 Micromanaging
Each one leads to:
🔺 Stalled growth
🔺 Missed goals
🔺 Low morale
🔺 Burnout
🔺 Broken trust
🔺 High turnover
🔺 Team confusion
The solution?
✅ Share the load
✅ Trust your team
✅ Listen and learn
✅ Give credit generously
✅ Decide with confidence
✅ Be radically clear from day one
✅ Speak with clarity and empathy
Most mistakes aren’t fatal—refusing to learn is.
Your team doesn’t need perfect.
