3 tips to become a confident manager

Drawing from eight years of managerial experience, this article presents three fundamental tips for new managers and entrepreneurs looking to build successful teams and enhance their leadership confidence:

 1. Foster a Solution-Oriented Culture

Instead of providing immediate answers, encourage team members to propose their own solutions. When faced with challenges, make it a habit to ask “What solutions have you tried?” This approach transforms problem-focused discussions into solution-oriented conversations, ultimately creating an environment where employees become more autonomous in their problem-solving.

2. Implement Decision-Making Budgets

Empower your team with two types of budgets:

• Financial Budget: Allocate specific amounts for team members to make independent decisions. For example, front desk staff at a hostel were given a $20 budget to handle customer situations not covered by standard procedures.
• Mistake Allowance: Create space for team members to learn from their mistakes, focusing on extracting valuable lessons and preventing similar issues in the future.

3. Lead by Example

As a leader, your actions set the tone for the entire team. This includes:

• Sharing and embodying the company’s vision
• Maintaining high energy and motivation
• Practicing consistent self-care
• Demonstrating continuous learning and growth

These principles, when implemented consistently, can help create a more autonomous, confident, and successful team while developing stronger leadership skills.
