Leadership is not something that a person is born with. It is a life-long learning journey.
Successful managers can view their team's mistakes as opportunities to coach and teach them what they need to know - so those mistakes don't happen again.
Successful managers understand that desired outcomes result from parking their egos at the door and doing whatever they need to do to get the results. And sometimes, their team will do it differently than they would have.
Successful managers understand that they need to create an environment conducive to learning. Given the proper circumstances and environment, they know that adults can learn new things.
Successful managers know they can't do it alone and must build collaborative teams. They surround themselves with others who can do some things better, stay out of their way, and let them do it. They resist the urge to micromanage.
