So They Gave You a Team. Now What? Let’s picture this scenario. You’ve been pushing management for months to give you a team. Finally, it happens. A handful of people start reporting to you. You’re excited, ambitious, maybe a little nervous. The future feels full of possibilities. The first few weeks are delicate. Your instinct might be to assert authority or to be everyone’s friend. Neither works. Leadership isn’t about being liked, and it isn’t about being feared. Let me tell you from my experience. Seniority shouldn’t be something you announce. Instead it should be something your team feels in the way you guide, support, and challenge them. The balance is subtle. You want them to respect you, but also trust you. You want them to grow in the company, but also in themselves. You want them to know you’re opening doors not just for promotions, but for skills, exposure, and experiences that will serve them anywhere. The golden rule is simple: focus on growing people, not positions. Spot talent, earn their trust, give them space to take ownership, and expose them to opportunities they didn’t even know existed. When you do that, the team doesn’t just follow instructions. They evolve, they step up, and believe me, they'll surprise you in ways you couldn’t have planned. That’s how teams become more than the sum of their parts. And that's how you as a leader would be remembered.
