084 | Leading A Team For The First Time? Start Here! Women Of Faith In Leadership - Kingdom Leadership, Workplace Organisational Culture, Christian Women podcast

It’s one of the most exhilarating feelings to get your first leadership role. But at the same time, it’s absolutely petrifying!

What scared me was, what if they don’t like me? What if I don’t get on well with them? What if they reject me?

Over the years, I've learnt a couple of valuable things about being a new leader that I'd like to share with you today. Make sure you listen to the full episode to learn more about each item on the list:

Connect with your team before you do anything
Don’t make changes straight away
Filling in the hypothetical “shoes” of the other leader
Support the team to do their job
Vision - Bring and drive the vision
Lead yourself well
