#NewDirectorAnxiety #FirstTimeManager #LeadershipJourney
Hey there, amazing people! 🌟 So, I recently got offered a Director position at a healthcare facility, and to be honest, it feels like a dream come true but also a bit overwhelming. I have zero experience in managing people, and now I’m expected to lead not just one but two departments. 😳
I’m feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety about this new role. Have any of you been in a similar situation? How did you tackle the fear of the unknown and step up as a leader? I’d love to hear your stories and tips on navigating through this journey!
Possible solutions to overcome anxiety about being a Director without prior experience:
– Seek mentorship from experienced managers or directors in your network 🤝
– Take advantage of leadership training or courses to enhance your skills 📚
– Communicate openly with your team and express your willingness to learn and grow together 💬
– Don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek feedback from your team and superiors 🤔
Let’s support each other and share our wisdom to conquer this new chapter with confidence! 💪 #LeadershipDevelopment #GrowthMindset #SupportiveCommunity
Give it a shot and try your best! This is what growth feels like. It can be uncomfortable and messy and you’ll make mistakes. Congrats and good luck!
They were obviously impressed with you, and what you bring to the table. Attack the job the same way you did the interview. Do your best and start diving into expert advice on these weakspots. (Books, videos, etc) Develop a game plan and adjust on the job.
Being uneasy means your in a position to learn and grow. We all make mistakes, don’t fear that, expect that you will and take the lessons to build upon skillsets as you gain the practical experience.
You got this!
Your anxiety is well deserved, this sounds unbelievable. What level person are you reporting to and why did the last director quit? Why would they hire someone with no experience, is it because they can’t get anyone to take the job?
How many managers reporting to you, how many ICs reporting to them?
