How to Become an Awesome Manager Even When You’re Young

Our generation is entering management positions decades earlier than those before us. And let me tell you, lack of experience and training in management is a dangerous combination.

I was promoted to a leadership position at 26, less than one year after I’d been hired at entry-level. I sucked. I had no clue how to manage people and had a team under me, plus people I oversaw abroad who were twice my age with twice as many degrees.

Management is a skill both inherent and developed, and while I was born with natural management finesse, I was never taught the skill of managing people. But I took this challenge as an opportunity for growth and spent a year learning how to be a great manager.

Here’s some nontraditional advice from a 20-something manager so you don’t make the same mistakes I did:

Don’t learn by example

Not knowing what to do, I copied my boss’s management style because we had a fantastic and productive working relationship. It was a disaster. There’s no cookie-cutter style for managing people, and part of being a good manager is reading people.

Use what worked for you as an employee in the past as information, but don’t replicate it exactly and expect success. Try different techniques, and pay attention to what works until you create your own style.

Ask for help

When I realized I was drowning as a manager, I reached out to our HR consultant for guidance. We had meetings every month for me to ask questions and get feedback on specific issues. I read articles and books. I asked friends what they liked and didn’t like in their managers and got advice from people who have been managing for decades.

Stand in your power

At 26, I didn’t believe I was supposed to be a leader. I lacked confidence, and since the people I was supervising were my peers or older, I felt inadequate to be their manager. I quickly became a pushover. When I finally gained some confidence and tried to assert some authority, it didn’t work because the pattern was already established.

Stand in your own power and authority from day one, even if you don’t think you deserve it. Fake it until you become it. No one will be the wiser.

Odds are you didn’t stand in your power from day one. Who does the first time they manage people? Manage your mistakes with grace. Admit you’re not perfect, and reboot.

I took the opportunity of someone joining my team to create a new culture. I set the tone instead of letting the culture set itself. I asked my team what they wanted and needed. We drafted a team charter outlining our values, how we worked together, our expectations of each other and their expectations of me as their leader.

I created real, meaningful connections with them by making quarterly, day-long off-sites a team requirement. These took several different forms depending on our needs: targeted work sessions for a specific project, brainstorming new ideas and discussing challenging situations in the larger environment of the company.

These touch points were invaluable. Our team was spread across two offices, and although we were in contact almost daily, we needed in-person time to really connect and ensure effective collaboration when we were apart.

If you’re unhappy with a pattern that has been created, find an opportunity to reboot and get back in control.

Ask for feedback

During our quarterly off-sites, my team would review the charter, and I made sure I was living up to their expectations and asked if there was anything more I could be doing. I had our HR consultant conduct a review of all the people I’d ever supervised so I could learn what people thought of me as a manager and how I could grow. I learned my strengths, weaknesses and areas for growth as a manager.

But equally as important, I demonstrated commitment to being a good leader and modeled that leaders can be open for criticism and need input to grow. Many managers and supervisors think the only way to gain respect and authority is by making themselves untouchable. Take the opposite approach: Make yourself human to your team and show your vulnerability.

Look outside the box for inspiration

I drew from my personal interests in food, yoga and productivity to bring our team together. During our off-sites, we would cook a meal together as a team-building exercise. Passion is an immediate way to create a connection.

How can you bring in your outside hobbies and interests and use them to bond with your team?

Support growth and be transparent about your shortcomings

Growth is a necessary factor in job satisfaction. I was clear with my team that I was not the be-all-end-all for information and growth. I was committed to their learning and tried to find innovative ways for them to grow, from pairing them with others in the organization with more experience to suggesting workshops and online courses.

Rather than make it seem like you know less, connecting your team with other experts will show your insight and intelligence.

Within a year, I had completely turned the ship around. I had a connected and efficient team; leadership in the organization saw it was one of the strongest teams. Taking the time and energy to become a good manager early will benefit you throughout your career. Do it by intentionally learning and connecting with the people you manage.

    This posting is right on time for me. I too am blessed with the task of being a young boss and I am in the stage where I am not confident in standing in my truth. I am looking forward to incorporating your helpful advice right now!

    Would you mind letting me know what books you read to get you through .

    • Martine

      Agreed. It’s the only way you know what is working. But in order to get good feedback, you have to have a good, trusting relationship with the people around you (otherwise they will only tell you what they think you want to hear), so establishing good and honest communication is essential.

  3. Good article Martine. I would probably add one more item to the list. That would be to Find a Mentor. This is something which helped me a lot during my initial stages when I was asked to step up to a Leadership role when I was 28. Cheers

    • Martine

      Great suggestion Vipin. In my situation, I found that there wasn’t any particular person to mentor with, so I took the best from a variety of people. But I think we both know the most important thing is to have at least one person that you can turn to for solid advice.

    Thanks for the share! I know when I first became a manager I really struggled with reading individuals emotions. As stupid as it sounds it was really hurting my effectiveness as a manger since I was unable to properly accommodate and motivate my team. Seeing that I was struggling another manager referred me to these emotional intelligence training courses. While it is still a work in progress I have definitely seen a change in myself and my team after taking that course.

    Sean has made it clear that he expects to be promoted. The problem is, I feel like he expects to be promoted based on only his length of service. There are others on his team that are more focused on their career development, and even though they’ve not been here as long, it’s likely that they will be promoted before him.

The 8 Limbs of Yoga:  What IS Pranayama?

This month’s feature article in my monthly Newsletter, Green Spirit News,  focuses on one of the limbs of Yoga.  In the West most people think of the asanas (the postures), the physical practice, when they hear the word Yoga.  In fact, this is only one limb, or aspect, of the 8 limbed path of Yoga.  This 5000+ year old practice is so much more.  It is a way of life.  More on that later!  For this month, I’ll focus on Pranayama (breathwork, the breath), and over the coming months, I’ll touch on each of the 8 limbs one at a time :)

Pranayama     pranayamaPranayama, Kundalini

Pranayama were developed by the ancient yogis for purification. Pranyama is used to control, cultivate, and modify the Prana in the body.  Swami Swatmarama in Hatha Yoga Pradipika talks about Pranayama as the way to awaken the kundalini; regular practice of Pranayama can lead to spiritual awakening and self realization. “Pranayama is control of Breath”. “Prana” means “Breath” and is the life force, vital energy in the body.  On subtle levels, prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and “ayama” means control/exercise.  So Pranayama is “Control of Breath”.  One can control the rhythms of pranic energy with pranayama and achieve a healthy body and mind.  Patanjali in his text of Yoga Sutras mentioned pranayama as a means of attaining higher states of awareness; he mentions the holding of breath as an important practice of reaching Samadhi.  Hatha Yoga also talks about 8 types of pranayama which will make the body and mind healthy.
Dirga PranayamaDirga Pranayama (Complete Yoga Breath) the 3 part breath is calming and relaxing.  Dirga Pranayama is called the three part breath because you are actively breathing into three parts of your abdomen. The first position is the low belly (on top of or just below the belly button), the second position is the low chest (lower half of the rib cage), and the third position is the low throat (just above the top of the sternum). The breath is continuous, in and out of the nose. The inhalation starts in the first position, the low belly; then moves to the second position, the low chest; then to the third position, the low throat. The exhalation starts in the low throat, moves to the low chest, and finishes in the low belly. Using hands on belly to feel the breath moving through each chamber is helpful initially.  Eventually relax the effort of the Pranayama and breathe into the three positions gently, feeling a wave of breath move up and down the torso.

Kapalabhati pranayamaKapalabhati Pranayama (Breath of Fire, Skull Shining Breath) used specifically for cleansing, revitalizing, invigorating, energizing, and purifying the body.  It removes mucus from the air passages, relieves tension and clears blockages in the chest, and reduces CO2 % in the blood. This is achieved by deliberately breathing faster, and at the same time using only abdominal diaphragmatic breathing, not chest breathing.  The breath is short, rapid, and strong using the lungs as a pump, creating pressure to clear air passages from the lungs up through the nostrils.  Kapala means “skull,”and bhati means “that which brings lightness.” Kapalabhati is a good thing to do when feeling heavy or dizzy in the head.  For problems with the sinuses or numb feeling around the eyes, kapalabhati can also be helpful.  Kapalabhati is a very active, forced exhalation with a passive inhalation. To exhale, the belly quickly pumps into the spine forcing the air out of the nose.  Place a hand on your belly to feel the belly actively pumping. Play with the tempo (45-60 exhalations/30 seconds), but keep a steady rhythm. Start with 2-3 rounds of 30 exhalations, and gradually increase the exhalations if comfortable.
Ujjayi pranayamaUjjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath) the victory or ocean sounding breath is focusing, grounding, and aids in concentration.  Ujjayi Pranayama is called the ocean sounding breath because of the ocean sound made by contracting the epiglottis with the inhalation and exhalation. Ujjayi Pranayama has therapy applications, especially useful in insomnia, tensions, and heart diseases.  This should not be practiced in low blood pressure because it puts pressure on the carotid sinus which further reduces blood pressure.  This Pranayama is done through the nose, but it is helpful to begin practicing breathing through the mouth. To make the ocean sound, whisper the syllable “h” feeling a contraction in the throat. Keep this contraction engaged on the inhalation and exhalation.
nadi sohdhana pranayamaNadi Sohdhana Pranayama (Purifying Breath) alternate nostril breathing is balancing, calming, anti-anxiety, and very relaxing.  Balancing the Ida (left nostril) and Pingala (right nostril), the mental force and vital force is one of the main objectives of Pranayama. If balanced, Sushumna nadi(the psychic nadi or channel carrying kundalini) can be awakened.  Place the right hand in Vishnu Mudra (forefinger and middle finger bent towards the palm; thumb, ring, and pinkie in the air). To do one round: close off right nostril with the thumb and inhale into the left nostril; close left nostril with ring and pinkie fingers, open the right nostril and exhale through the right; close the right nostril again, open the left, and exhale through the left nostril. Continue, doing 5-20 rounds.
Shitali pranayamaShitali Pranayama (Cooling Breath) cools the body.  The air passing over the tongue cools the blood by lowering its temperature. This type of Pranayama removes excess heat in the body. This Pranayama harmonizes the secretions of reproductive organs and all the endocrine system. Also it improves digestion reducing acidity, lowers high blood pressure (hypertension), and purifies the blood.  Curl the tongue touching the roof of the mouth as far back as you can to the soft pallet.  As you inhale clench the teeth together and slightly part the lips making a hissing “ssss” sound.
There are other forms of pranayama that should not be practiced without the guidance of a teacher or guru.  But for now, the types of pranayama described here can get you on your way to practicing, understanding and reaping the rewards of this limb of on your path of Yoga.

Om Shanti

Harry Reid: I Don't Doubt Ted Cruz's 'Sincerity' in Obamacare Fight

Harry Reid: I Don't Doubt Ted Cruz's 'Sincerity' in Obamacare Fight

Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) suggested he does not believe Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has ulterior motives in his push to defund Obamacare in Congress’s Continuing Resolution (CR) in a Monday floor speech.

“I almost would bet–although I am not a betting man–that most Americans would want us to agree on not shutting down the government,” Reid said on the floor of the U.S. Senate, during a response to one of Cruz’s motions to block Reid’s procedural maneuvers to reinsert funding for the Affordable Care Act into the bill.

“I know the sincerity of the senator from Texas,” Reid continued. “I understand that. I disagree with him. I hope as sincerely as he disagrees with me. But I don’t take away from his sincerity. But having said that, I am in a position now to object, and I must do that.”

For the past couple of weeks, many Republicans, Democrats, and media figures have argued that Cruz is acting out of political ambition, particularly any potential 2016 presidential aspirations. Now that Cruz has gotten face-to-face with Reid on the Senate floor, though, Reid has countered that, in his own view, Cruz is genuinely motivated, and the Democratic leader is genuinely ideologically opposed to Cruz.

A Brighton charity thanked a recovering heroin and alcohol addict for his fundraising efforts last night (Thursday 21 February).

James Danks raised the money when he ran the Brighton Half Marathon on Sunday (17 February) as a thank you to Brighton Housing Trust (BHT) for helping him to become abstinent.

He also completed the run – in 1 hour and 42 minutes – in memory of his late wife Zoe.

He was part of Team BHT, made up of 22 staff, supporters and clients, who raised more than £3,000 for the housing and homeless charity.

ZeniMax sues virtual reality start-up Oculus VR

Video game publisher ZeniMax Media has sued Oculus VR, alleging theft of trade secrets during development of a gaming headset by the virtual reality start-up that Facebook has agreed to buy for $2.2 billion.

ZeniMax and its subsidiary id Software are suing Oculus and co-founder Palmer Luckey for, among other things, hiring away employees such as  well-known game programmer John Carmack to "surreptitiously gain further unauthorised access" to intellectual property, according to the lawsuit filed in a US Federal Court in Texas.

The case has gained wide attention partly because of the involvement of Carmack, credited with helping conceive of such groundbreaking titles as Quake and Doom. According to the lawsuit, Carmack, who now works with Oculus, may have provided valuable technology to Oculus as they collaborated on various projects.

Oculus said in a statement that the ZeniMax lawsuit "has no merit whatsoever. As we have previously said, ZeniMax did not contribute to any Oculus technology." Oculus said it will "defend these claims vigorously."

Oculus marks one of Facebook's largest deals to date, seen as a bet on the future of mobile and computer interfaces.

ZeniMax, which houses well-known game developers such as Bethesda Softworks and id Software under its umbrella, asserts in its lawsuit that the well-reviewed Oculus Rift headset – not yet available for sale – was developed using its intellectual property.

"We cannot ignore the unlawful exploitation of intellectual property that we develop and own, nor will we allow misappropriation and infringement to go unaddressed," ZeniMAx chief executive Robert Altman said in a separate statement.

Jo Morris column: Avon Wildlife Trust helping nurture a love of nature

By The Bristol Post  |  Posted: May 16, 2014

Comments (0)

CHILDREN in 12 local schools are discovering more about the fascinating lives of pollinators and predators thanks to Avon Wildlife Trust and Western Power Distribution.

Pollinators, such as moths, and their predators including bats, play an essential role in nature. There is a delicate balance in the relationship between prey and predator and they both have important roles in the wider ecosystem.

Schoolchildren are taking part in games and learning activities inside and outside of the classroom as well as seeing live moths, which have been humanely trapped in their local area. The half-day activities are running throughout May and June and are linked to the National Curriculum.

Our project which is free to schools thanks to the support of Western Power Distribution, raises awareness of the global decline in pollinating insects. This is due to pressures, such as habitat loss, pests and disease, agricultural practices and climate change. The pollination services they provide are vitally important for our ecosystems and are estimated to be worth approximately £513 million per year to UK agriculture.

Nocturnal wildlife is especially fascinating and children love to find out more. Did you know for example that the hairy bodies of moths make them fantastic pollinators; or that they hear sounds through their wings; or that the cecropia moth can smell its mate up to seven miles away with its feathery antennae; and what about the fastest moth in the world? That is the super-speedy sphinx moth which goes faster than 30 miles per hour, breaking the speed limit around schools!

Avon Wildlife Trust's Pollinators and Predators Project is going to schools in south Gloucestershire including Hanham Abbots Junior School, Longwell Green Primary School, Severn Beach Primary School, St Peter's VC Primary School in Pilning, and Tyndale Primary School in Yate.

Avon Wildlife Trust aims to give every local child the chance to experience wildlife close up. Many schoolchildren and teachers have already been involved in some of Avon Wildlife Trust's 'Wild Schools' projects including a free filmmaking competition, the Spawn to be Wild eel project or have visited our Folly Farm education centre and our Feed Bristol site, or one of our 36 nature reserves.

Western Power Distribution has worked with the Trust on a number of projects over the years, bringing fun activities to schoolchildren, especially those in low-income areas. The company's Community Liaison Officer Tracy Carr even sat in on a pollinators and predators session and was impressed with how much the children learnt.

With the support of companies such as Western Power Distribution, we are able to do so much more for children and communities in and around Bristol.

Avon Wildlife Trust is the leading local wildlife charity, caring for 36 nature reserves, advising landowners, and running innovative educational and community projects. Please go to avonwildlifetrust.org.uk for further details and ways to support the charity including membership.
