I'll be continuing my series of posts for first-time team managers titled “So they gave you a team. Now what?” The Smartwatch Technique: Connected, not controlling. Most of us buy a smartwatch believing it will help us get fitter. For the first few days, we stay fully hands on, tracking every step, calorie, and heartbeat. Then after a while, the excitement fades. The watch lies on the table, battery dead, because we either checked it too often or forgot to check it at all. That is exactly how many people manage their teams. At the start, they hover over every task. They chase updates, schedule constant check-ins, and want to be part of every decision. They call it being proactive, but it often turns into control disguised as commitment. And then comes the other extreme. The burnout phase. The manager stops checking in altogether. The team loses rhythm, communication slows down, and small gaps become big ones. The truth is, leadership is not about being hands on or hands off. Instead, it is all about being in sync. A smartwatch is not meant to control your body. It is meant to keep you aware of the rhythm. Managing a team works the same way. You do not need to monitor every heartbeat. You just need to sense when the pulse is off. That's how great managers lead.

Want to know why 95% of people stay stuck? They can't handle being wrong. Show them a blind spot - they get defensive. Point out a mistake - they get emotional. Offer feedback - they take it personal. While the top 5%? They hunt for corrections.
