Absolutely resonate with your insights here. The transition into a first-time managerial role often carries the expectation of being a "good person," which, while admirable, can indeed become a double-edged sword in leadership. This innate desire to maintain harmony and avoid conflict at all costs can hinder the necessary tough decisions and direct feedback that are sometimes required for a team's growth and success. Moreover, the habitual impulse to dive in and solve every problem, a vestige from their previous roles as individual contributors, can lead to burnout and stifle the team's opportunity to develop problem-solving skills and autonomy. Recognizing and overcoming these challenges is a crucial step toward effective leadership. It's about finding that balance between empathy and decisiveness, and fostering an environment where team members feel empowered to take initiative and tackle challenges independently.
