Uncertainty as a leader can feel confusing and frustrating, especially when you are new to leadership.
When you are in uncertainty or ambiguity as a leader, it’s important to protect your team from that. It’s your job to understand where the company is going and while there my be uncertainty, understand what you need your team to do in this moment. You won’t always be able to keep uncertainty and ambiguity out of the team…but when it needs to be in there, make you explain it very clearly, what the plan is, what the risks are and that you as the leader are ultimately to blame if it’s the wrong plan.
If you are able to keep the majority of the uncertainty out of the teams, you are doing a fantastic job as a leader. Being able to give your people very clear, tangible goals and next steps is the key to being a successful leader, leading successful teams.
I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!
