Sometimes ...even if I do not make the mistake myself I will accept the responsibility myself in a meeting. I am the leader of my team and if that person makes a mistake I am just as responsible when I report the error up the ladder.

A lot of times in IT there are relatively few people who complete a large percentage of the work, and not going to bat for the most driven/most productive people because it's not fair across the group can be more damaging than the shitheads calling you a bad manager because you seem to play favorites. For example... say your best employee who puts in 50-60/hrs per week and is a rockstar needs to work from home one day per week or needs to start coming in at 9am but will surely still get their hours in.... Do you say "well, if you did that, I'd have to say yes to everyone" while thinking you really can't trust a few on your team to work remotely because they don't seem to do much in the office. ...or do you say, of course you can, and then be transparent to others if anyone asks. |

Read the "1 Minute Manager" by Ken Blanchard. Simple thoughts, not sure if it works in todays market.
Go deep with the "Art of War" by Sun Tsu. The last chapter is key. |

Very solid advice from everyone....to lighten up a bit let me offer this humorous piece of advice...
Never trust the Mute button on your phone, especially if HR is on the line. Evidently yelling "get that sniveling weasel in my office " to the Supervisor on my team about an associate who was causing trouble doesn't sit well with HR. Wasn't one of my more shining moments in my early managing career. 😁 |

I do work in a pretty unique industry and office setting but a lot of this stuff is human nature and universal.

Alternative perspective, just because you were good at the position alone won’t make you a good people leader. So many poor people leaders are in that position because they were good at the job and it becomes the logical next step in a career path. Then you wind up with a tier of shit leaders
Know yourself. If you’re not passionate about leading and developing others, then recognize it and move on. It’s okay I hated every minute of being a people leader and once I recognized it a huge weight was lifted off me |

Manage individuals, not teams.
Every person is different. That means their motivations, ambitions, abilities, etc. Management cannot effectively be done with a one size fits all approach. |
