Picking up that first team leader or manager role is one of the most daunting transitions that anyone can make at work. It's a big jump from team SME to being in charge, and many people don't realise that it's a completely different job, requiring a set of unique skills that you may not have been using in your previous role.
I've been leading teams for almost 20 years. And here are the top 5 skills that I've seen in successful team leaders. And hang around until the end for a bonus tip as well.

I just landed a job as a team leader for an IT company - start 02.01.2023 🙏🏽
Great to hear. Lots of videos on this channel to help you get off to a great start! Well done!
Would you have any advice for a retail manager who has somehow landed an interview for a support services team leadership role? I feel very under qualified but I want to give it all Ive got whether I'm hired or not
Has this advice seemed to help u?
Update?
How are you getting on? I just started with my Team today! Do you have any tips?
My story of becoming a team leader was so dramatic, I used to be the team player type of guy instead of team leader type, i was on a long leave as I was having my college exams, and on one fine day i recieved my next month roster and message from management that I was appointed as a new team leader and will join them as a TL on my first shift , and the very next day was my birthday, I still remember I was so nervous and anxious, all my previous TLS resigned before i came from my leave, I had no one to teach what to do and how to manage everything by my self, it was so tough that I was almost on an edge of breaking, but now it's been 5 months , I only followed one quote that i found randomly on Google that "be a leader like you always wanted to have and do things differently instead of doing different things", now i m considered as one of the best TL and many of the staff wants to join my team , coz I keep my team so close that we now share same thoughts.
That is dramatic indeed!
I am a team leader for 2 years, still finding difficulties to manage. I hope your tips and suggestions help my job to perform accordingly. New subscriber here. All the best
Just put the work in to keep learning. I’ve been a TL for 20+ years and still find it difficult!
Human skills are important in self-awareness. It is the most certain requirement that is shared between all manager roles. Thank you.
00:50 - Develop Self-Awareness
01:56 - Be genuinely empathetic
03:04 - Be a Forward Thinker -- many people describe this as 1-3-5 year plan, bigger picture, vision, company mission
04:12 - Take Accountability (Ownership) - Own up to things -- none of the credit, all of the blame
05:35 - Put your own spin on things - Probably mentioning uniqueness. He mentions psychological and nudging tricks, but doesn't actually list any.
Thank you for the comment. I hope the video was interesting and useful. I didn't mention specific nudging techniques as that's a big subject in itself. I may do a follow up video on that subject. Regards, Paul
Thank you for informative advise. keep it up good work. Thanks again ❤😊
thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
Thank you for these precious advices, I'm considering taking this role, but keep telling myself I'm not cut for it. My coworkers think otherwise. I guess I have the qualities for it and should stop telling myself it is not for me. I guess you are not a leader, but you become one, woth work and dedication, like everything in life :)
Thanks for the support. Take the role! Chances don’t come along very often so have confidence that you can get better every day and go for it. Happy to advise and help you if you need.
@@ProductivityACE Thank you so much! I followed your advice and I got the position! I'm now a team leader! I'm eager to face challenges and take care of them :)
@@A_n_n_E Congratulations! That's great news! Now the hard work begins. It's time to learn, practice and really develop a new set of skills. Let me know if you have any questions.
@@ProductivityACE Thank you :D
@@A_n_n_E I realize this was from a couple of months ago, but I just recently got promoted to a team leader myself and wanted to say congratulations! 😊
Really well put and after 20 years you must have seen your fair share of the good the bad and the ugly!
Thanks. The good news is that over the last 10 years I've certainly seen much more of a focus on empathetic leadership and concern for mental health. So hopefully we are heading in the right direction.
@@ProductivityACE absolutely, let's hope things remain on course
Thanks mate.
EQ... is one that is very important IMO. Great list and 100% correct.
Cheers Mike. Hoping these videos and those on your channel are of assistance to people newly into a management role.
New in my position and start managing people. Thank you for this!
Congratulations and well done! Let me know how it goes. I'm sure you'll do great!
Thank you for sharing what you know. Very helpful. Double thumps up; glad I found your CZcams account.
Thanks for the support. What subjects should I do more videos on?
@@ProductivityACE if I were you; I’d probably do some on the subject of how to control addiction an cravings. Tips and simple ways to over come these challenges in our daily life… again thank you very much this video helps me a lot, to progress in my life.
@@maximojimenez9028 Very interesting subject, thanks for the pointer and continued support!
The best video. The pace, tone and content are perfect for me.
Great. Tell other people and hopefully the channel will grow!
An insightful and impactful video 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks, I'm happy it was useful
Thank you for this.... I need to work on this 😊
Thanks for the support. I have another video on this topic coming soon with more tips that might help you
Great stuff. Thanks
Thanks for the comment.
Good summary of what it takes to be a team lead. Cross your fingers for me, I'll get back with an update for myself lol
No need to cross anything I’m sure you’ll do great. Report back with any observations.
How did it go?
Two thumbs up video contents Sir.
Liked and subscribed to your YT channel.
Let' s create great videos for new leaders.
Thanks for the support. Do you have any suggestions for video topics as I’m always looking to create videos that people are interested in.
@@ProductivityACE Pls create video about Leader vs Manager or Be a leader not a manager. Thanks.
How do you separate work relationship with friendships after work hours?
I wanted to share this video with someone young who became a team leader recently, but I can’t because you said repeatedly that it’s very difficult to be a leader/manager. Great content still.
No you can absolutely share them with anyone regardless of age. Being a good leader has nothing to do with age. In fact I’ve got a video coming out in a few weeks which talks about the advantages and disadvantages that younger people have when leading teams. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.
Thank you so much. I just recently got a promotion to a team leader of around 25-35 people and I'm quite nervous lol.
Fantastic news. Well done! Put the time in to learn the skills and psychology of people management and you’ll really enjoy it. Challenging and rewarding. Let me know if you have any questions or situations you’d like my opinion on.
bro i’m 22 and got promoted 2 months ago this video helped a lot it’s going good It’s just not easy to manage people as u think takes a lot of patience & guidance but once u get everybody on pace it’s a lot about being consistent !
@@jaygatsby4879 Nice one Jay! Thanks for the comment. Yeah it's certainly tough but the important thing is to keep learning and practicing. Get better each day by just a little bit and it soon adds up. Let me know if you have any challenges or questions and thanks again for the support.
@@jaygatsby4879 my 1st week and it's pretty brutal. Especially night shift. I work in a poultry. So the people are doing the same motion for 8.5 hours. Hard to keep people in the department. I was a regular worker in the same department along side some of the same coworkers. Pretty awkward being the boss of people I worked beside
@@decimatesable my advice to you is, find another job with that same position or something similar. When you are a new supervisor in a new job, workers will get to know you and thats when you show then your true leadership. Be very vigilant and careful about the way you act because they can see it all and some may take advantage of that. Best of luck !
Subscribe instantly.. thanks you help me a lot. Great job 👏 👍
Awesome, thank you! Good luck on your team leader career!
Thank you very much. I'm already 3 years teamleader and your video helped me a lot with my presentation. I hope people will help you to grow your channel and convince you to continue to make video like this one.
Just got a team leader job in retail been years since I managed. This is a bigger store as well.
Nice one! Have confidence and do the right things for your people and you’ll do great.
thank you!
Thanks for the support! Tell your colleagues. We are almost at 10k subs!
I've just subscribed to your channel! Thanks for the tips and tricks. I've just got a TL deputy position at my company. My future plan is to be a good Team Leader. It is a big forward stepping for me but I always dreamed about it. I hope I can achieve it in 2 years.
Excellent news. Well done on starting your leadership journey. It's great that you have the mindset to want to keep improving. Put the time in to learn the many skills you'll need and don't be daunted by setbacks and challenges. It's not an easy job but all issues can be solved. Good luck!
@@ProductivityACE Thank you!
Very good.
Thank you! Cheers!
Best💯

Cheers Max. Hope you're ok and that the channel is doing well.
@@ProductivityACE yeah doing good. I have not posted in a while but should be some content soon 😃
Thank you
You're welcome
My current Team Leader asks me or convinces me to replace her position because she has new tasks to handle and that would be a new team for the new process, and I am very reluctant to grab that position because I did not feel to be in that position handling a team I am currently working with. I am afraid of bigger responsibilities and I already think I could not do it. I already refused to up for grabs and said I am not fit for that. I am not seeing myself as a team leader but she just said, you are at an advantage in that position, you already knew the process because if we will look outside from our team that will be another adjustment. She is also seeing my potentials that I did not see in myself fitting in. Now, she just gives me time to think and later on my manager will also talk to me for possible promotion. I don't know, so far this time, I am not really interested.
Why do you think you cannot do it? Remember they wouldn’t ask you if they didn’t have confidence in you. Sure, it might be hard and there will be lots to learn but the challenge is what brings success. Being afraid is ok, we all are when we start new roles. But believe in your ability and be willing to learn and it could be the start of a great leadership career. All top and senior leaders had to start somewhere.
I just became a team lead at 18 🎉
That’s good news but don’t celebrate too early. Being a young leader is hard and carries its own challenges. How will you manage and inspire people much older than you? How will you deal with your lack of experience? How will you relate to the mindsets of others from a different generation? Many things to consider. But great news for sure.
So here’s a question that I didn’t see a video for how do you deal with lazy people at work such as the people that are do the bare minimum and watch as I break my back. I’m not a team lead anymore I felt like I was becoming way to big of an ahole which bothered me so I chose to step down. Yet I feel that I am still responsible for everything everyone come to me from questions on the job and from management on why things aren’t getting done
I need help as I am going to start a new shift lead role in a few days. How can I get in touch with you chief?
Hi Beastmode - you can book a 30 min Career Clinic call here www.buymeacoffee.com/productivityace/e/12984 or hit me up for general questions on email paul@productivityace.com.
I'm addicted to this content. I recently read a similar book, and I was completely addicted. "The Hidden Empire: Inside the Private Worlds of Elite CEOs" by Adam Skylight
Glad you enjoy the content. It will make you a better leader. Thanks for the book recommendation!
I am placement co-ordinator of my class ,give me suggestions for make my class involves in the group activities
That's up to you. Use your imagination and creativity. Good luck,
just got team lead job at holiday inn. start 04.01.2024.
Very well done. Lots of tips on this channel for how to do a great job. Good luck.
I was just offered a lead position. Never been a lead man before and I'm nervous. Good thing is, I've been at the job for 12 years so I'm knowledgeable of my duties but never lead a group of people.
Well done! Just keep learning, care about your team as people and be honest and authentic. You’ll do great! Let me know how it goes.
This is also what I am afraid of, I am nervous to lead my current team. I am one of the team members and subject matter expert, besides I know how ton of work loads of being a Team Leader is.
Gm associate just got accepted to team lead in meat/produce. Any tips?
Congrats! How many people are in your team?
@ProductivityACE I have 12 associates under me. I told them I wasn't going to make too many changes, but after a few hours of analyzing their work behavior, a lot needs changed
No problem there. Have confidence in what you believe needs to be changed and execute. That's why you're in that position. Let me know how it goes. @@williambaker1799
As a team lead Im only going to take all the blame and none of the credit for so much longer. This role has an expiration date now that im growing sick of pushing dead weight up a hill.
I hear you. Every job has a point where it's time to say goodbye. Maybe you've reached yours?
me always
Anyone have take notes?
I got a team lead position at work. I noticed the best leaders/supervisors have worked the floor in the past. This hiring people from college is so stupid..
That's excactly what i wanted to say.
Please provide me some ppt??

thx
I become a team leader in a resort.
Just became Head of backend development, so any help is welcome!
Well done and congratulations. Let me know how it goes or any challenges you encounter.
@@ProductivityACE what's a good way to keep your team motivated and on task? How effective are team stand ups?
In ideal world, these would work, theoretically. Not when it comes to real life environment.
Thanks for the comment. This advice is based on over 20 years experience in environments that I can assure you were very real indeed. That’s the whole point. Team leading is tough, there’s never an ideal world in which to lead people.
What do you do when your team members becomes so negative on the situation talking bad about other departments ? How do you control it and what exactly do you say?
I try and squash negativity as quickly as possible. Speaking bad about other teams can cause a lot of reputation damage so I try and get my teams to be as positive as they can. And if they really don’t like something then they should reach out and try to help people. Everyone has their own challenges and we don’t know what others are going through.
They never let me be a team leader after five years ? SMH
You need to work out why. Put yourself in their shoes and take a step back. Look honestly and openly at your own performance and behaviours. Work out where you're going wrong and plan to improve. There will be reasons why it's not happening, but you might not be seeing them.
Teamwork can be used to build a team or harm others using junk team spirit.
