Dear @creativeblue
Being a leader is not easy, you should know very well the potentialities and possible weaknesses of the team you serve.
Being a leader is being able to know what your chances as a leader are and being able to be in the shoes of your teammates.
In this way you can know who you can delegate some function to the best of your ability and put together the tasks you are going to delegate.
Knowing how to make very difficult decisions in situations of extreme having good information about everything you are about to undertake.
Be a good guide but you must also have good communication with your teammates, and be very clear that you are the same as them only with more responsibility.
many confuse being boss with being a leader and that is not the same.
I am currently head of the university's Nomina department, I don't know if it's wrong that I call myself Lider I think it would be very conceited of me.
However, I can measure the performance of the payroll team on a monthly basis, since the margin of error is always zero, this means that we are doing our job well in spite of all the difficulties with which we do it.
I am always congratulating my team for their noble work.
Greetings from Venezuela a country that fights for its freedom.
