When I was a new manager I thought I had to know everything. I had to be as good or even better than any of my staff at their work. I thought, “If I am the manager then I should be the best at everything”. Soon thereafter I tried to learn more about the specialized jobs of my staff.
I soon learned that I couldn’t be the expert on everything. I hired these people because they are much better than me at what they do. I don’t need to know how a graphic artist did the particular advertisement artwork to achieve its beauty. I just need to know why I need the advertisement artwork. They are the specialists. My job was to plan long-term strategies - to be a manager.
Almost everyone has witnessed a music band or a basketball team who has team members not doing what they are supposed to be doing. It ends up in chaos. In a team, everyone has a role. Even you as the leader has a role. You must know that you are there to manage and your staff are there to do their tasks.
Make sure that everyone on your team know everyone’s roles. This will make your team work at their best when they know that someone is responsible for each task.
