Hay I have watched your channel and it has been very helpful but in my review I did not make the cut. But I learned alot
As an employer, I just want to say cheers to any new managers that are here watching this on their own volition. Make leadership, management, and communication your craft. The more you understand your responsibilities, the less burdensome they will be. You're already 1 step ahead simply by being here and learning how your role works. Many new managers aren't doing this and will fail but not you. Good for you!!
Thanks Pat
Spoken like a true leader.
Thanks pat. You are doing more then most management does by giving praise and good feedback.
You hiring sales folk by any chance?
This!
I'm not new to leadership, but I am new to management.
The skills are different, and it always helps to brush up on, and learn new skills.
I'm here for the latter
My boss is a great example of being able to trust. She will let people vent, visit with them, even end up friends with them. But she also makes the hard decisions and makes sure we all understand that she still has to be a boss.
As a manager or team lead, your team should come first and you should remember your responsibility for their well being as well as helping them meet business goals. It's very easy to simply become an executor of your bosses wishes and to let business goals be the only thing you're concerned with - this makes for a very poor manager and I've seen it time and again. Management often seems to forget that the people they're responsible for are people and this is one of the many things that ruins a job for someone. Take your teams opinions and needs into account in all your decisions because at the end of the day, they're what gives the company any worth.
Your team doesn’t work for you, you work for your team.

I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE THAT information and advice. I have to write up a co-wrkr for the FIRST TIME EVER in life on Monday and I want to say the right things she already resents my position over her. But I want to help her and know that I’m not against her either and want her to succeed she has children and a background and job hunting is not fun and definitely not b4 the holiday 🤦♀️😢
Yes i should be ready in in 1-2 months and i know teamwork makes the dreamwork alot of responsibility alot of power but pretty soon i got it
I just got promoted and my first week was hectic. My team was giving a hard time. Mostly not wanting to listen and did not see me as a leader. Once I had a meeting with them and listened to each of their problems, they all changed. I just hope I get better as time goes on. ty for this video.
Yeah pretty much the same problem with Me.. It was hard for my fellow co workers see me as a supervisor.. I've made mistakes however I owned them and communicated that to my team.. told them I understand it's a difficult transition just as much for them as it is for me.. Communication can't be said enough how important that is.. dealing with different personalities and how to work around quirks they may have is just something that I'll learn in time.. Just know your not alone in these challenges 👍
Update?
I’m going through this right now. 😞
@@SD-kd4fc Cool! Congratulations! How can I help? Still trying to get used to my new position and having these people to manage. For now, what I can tell you is that patience is the key! You’ll have to be patient with your people and with yourself as you embark with this journey to building your team.
U gave a great response listening sometimes in work and personal life gets everyone on the same page and that's half the battle
1. know your bosses expectations of you
2. Don't rely on facts and data and figures alone
3. Avoid actionism
4. Don't speak badly about your predecessor
5. Don't aim to be popular
why simplify this, his voice and explanations are far more therapeutic
@@boc8385 he simplified so you can get easy bullet points to remember easier later on.
Thanks, great video
@@boc8385 I agree, but in 2022 the average viewer will watch the first ten seconds of the video, get bored or impatient (by no fault of Bernd's), and then scroll to the comments looking for lists like this.

Just remember, even if you adopt a sincere Mentoring, Inspirational type leadership style, and begin to feel you have them inspired and motivated and happy, they are going to find things to criticize you for and will still talk about you behind your back. Its how people are and it comes with the territory.
This is what I find hard
10 years in Customer Service and Sales and Marketing across a variety of industries: no matter your position, someone will always somewhat talk behind your back. don't
sweat it! Even if you are a naturally Empathetic person, who inspires your team, works hard and helps where you can.....someone will always be unhappy in their life and project it.
Fuck em! they will eventually leave or get fired.
@@Fitgirlme100
Thank u and appreciate that honesty 💯
I was tossed into management positions at the age of 17, without any prior understandings, and now I wish I had seen this before! I just started working for a small company and I was promoted to manager a week ago, but for the first time I felt afraid. After watching your video, and a few more, I feel ready and able to step into this position and continue to build myself and others. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks for your nice feedback and congratulations to your promotion!
How you making out now?
Greetings,how has been the management journey so far?
Same thing going here
I got a job this week as a supermarket duty manager and I have never been a manger for any organisation. Whilst i have worked in a supermarket for ten years in the past, I never become a manager as i was quite happy in my role. I then left and worked for the aviation industry for ten years and now i'm back in the supermarket game. I must admit, i'm absolutely pooping myself to put it in a nice way but I will put in my best efforts and this video is gold for me. Thanks for posting it.
You are welcome. Congratutlations to your new position.
I must really admit I had experienced all this in the past. Being young and angry is a bad thing. I really have learned a lot !
How you making out now?
I have been appointed as Fresh Produce Manager role in a large supermarket.
I have been 2ic for many years.
But have only recently wanted to step up.
I have found that if you make friends with everyone, it doesn't work out so well.
You need to speak up when needed. Even if it's not popular.
Be professional.
Great information in video.
Thank you !!
Thank you and much success in your new role
Just awaiting my offer letter as Ass. Dir. Biomedical engineering dept in a huge hospital and I'm kind of frightened already by the responsibilities. Thanks for these tips sir... hopefully we can one day be talking confidently like you
Any updates?
I love this !! I had a past manager who was terrible. For exactly the 3rd point. She swept in made changes without getting to know her team. Getting to understand the dynamics, unwritten rules and and why the team made on the first place....She was fired because she got no support from the team. End of story. I have learnt alot from her. Thank you for this
Thanks. You are welcome.
How you making out now?
I’m starting as a Customer Service Supervisor soon and will be overseeing the front of house operations in a department store. Can’t wait to start my new role, and this definitely helped since I have no management experience. Thanks so much! 🎉
That is awesome! Best of luck.
Let me start by saying I am an ARAB MUSLIM and A WOMAN in usa. I had to mention these facts. I just got this management position. CONGRATS to me. However, the team cannot comprehend what's on TV is not what's inside the retail shop. They think I am a shapeshifter or something. I am a strong woman; I won't let myself be rolled over. I am the boss.
Salute to a fellow Moroccan (?) first time manager!
@@gun123456zak is not the first time being a manager, but every time the team finds out that their boss is a hijabi Arab WOMAN, it's hard for them to understand it.
Excellent advice! Each one is helpful in every field. What I hated about my last manager (before quitting and starting my own small business) was she went out of her way to lie and get the old manager fired, took her place, told lies about me even though I had 15 years more experience than her, eventually drove me out the door!!
Not friends to this day, 2 years later. Can not befriend a backstabber!
As someone who is preparing to interview for my first management position, this video is very useful - thank you!
That is great to hear. Thanks. Good luck with your interview!
I am also preparing for an interview for a management position
@@MissM871 Great. All the best for you.
Same! How did your interview go? How are you now?
Howd it go?
I've just been hired as a manager for a large fast food restaurant. Honestly, I'm excited but also this is just a massive responsibility. This video has helped massively 🙏
How you making out now?
Promoted to Manager in a large retail store today. Tomorrow is my first day. Stoked and nervous at the same time!
Fantastic! How´d it go?
After almost one year how do you feel now?
I was offered an unexpected interview for a manager position at a spa, so there is a front desk team, and service team. I am nervous about the expectations because I’ve never had a good manager experience at any job ever, but then went and operated my own business for 10 years. I desire to dissolve my business and retire from it and I’m interested in this job but I’m so nervous about being a a manger, even though on paper I see I do have the skills and experience
Just got my first operations supervisor job. Watching this before my first time. Thank you I'm more prepared now
Congratulations! That's great!
Just what I needed, I went for a new job as a lead, not having any management experience and also being the new person at the company, your video has calmed my nerves.
Thank you
That makes me happy. Glad it was helpful. Much success in your new role.

Thank you very much I just recently got promoted to supervisor and I want to be effective successful and respected the right way the first time

I just got a job as a manager,and this video has been helpful. Thanks
That's great. Thanks.
This was exactly what I need to know for my start next week. Thank you a lot!
I'm a father and stay at home homeschooler for two blessings, my children. My wife is amazing and I want to step up my leadership goals. I'm watching this and other insightful thought provoking ideas.
Like my pastor says, listen more and "chew up the meat and spit out the bones".
Not everything is applicable to you in your situation, learn to "glean" and serve with informed hearts. 😊
Just got promoted as a Team Leader today.. I learned a lot from this video😊 Thank you and God bless!
Wonderful! Congratulations on your promotion. Keep it up!
I’ve been managing a wireless phone carrier retail store for about 7 months now. My first three months were a breeze the last 4 months have been a challenge. I stumbled on this video wanting to get better at managing, and it def opened my eyes to some things. Good luck to all the other managers in whatever company you are giving your time to ✊🏽
Thanks a lot. Appreciate it. Glad it was helpful to you.

I enjoyed the video very much. Had alot of great information I need and help sharpen my leadership skills. I was offered a supervisor role but I didn’t accept as I was joining another company. However this mindset will help me achieve where I need to be one day. Thank you once again, future manager in the making .
Hi Brend just wanted to say thank you, your advice has been absolutely amazing. I will be watching more videos.
I found this very useful. I a new manager but in a new company and it's been a learning curve but not terrible. It helped that I searched for tips to be a good leader. You've introduced some new things for me in this video. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I struggle a lot with your last point on trying to be popular. I am naturally kind person who really tries to help as much as I can as a manager. But I have seen where that has caused problems for me, in terms of establishing respect. It's tough when "friends" at work challenge you.
I will have to find a balance. Hopefully I can find more tips from your videos! Thanks again!
Same problem here
Same problem here. The closest guys are the ones causing more issues.
It’s being challenging to change it
Hahahha same exact problem! May we overcome them
@@Meeffoc How you making out now?
Tell them don't make it hard for you and You are being lenient but don't stretch it.
मस्तच भावा👍👍
(Meaning: Great brother👍👍)
The thing I struggle with is remembering that I'm the boss and not the employee
I think that a lot of people struggle with this. I plan to make a video about it!
Do not worry. I am also new to my management role, and this is also happening to me.
Same.
I start my new position as a Ched manager(Head chef)
Im super excited and a bit nervous becauze this has been one of things i have worked for ♥️♥️

Thanks, for taking time to consider and then post the video on 5 crucial tips on leadership.
I messed up my first time out. I was learning as much as I can but my main issue was not asking the right questions. I'm getting a second chance in management in the next week and will keep on my toes making sure I'm asking the right questions this time around. Also, I did try to be every body's friend while simultaneously being as fair and honest as possible. The ladder will do without the former.
Last thing is that although I feel I was wronged, I take full responsibility and have learned from it. As a respectable leader should.
Glad I found this channel! Cheers!
How you making out now?
@@bunnyman6321 well I’m managing my own business now. It’s been hectic to say the least but rewarding. I’m solo for now but I’ll be looking to add a couple of names to my roster mid next year if I play my cards right. Still within the feeling out process if I’m being completely honest but taking action none the less.
@@ksandbergen May you have much success 💰 💯
@@bunnyman6321 same to you my friend. What about you? How are you holding up in this crazy day and age?
@@ksandbergen Thank you!
I'm doing excellent! I'm glad I made it another year. Thanks for asking!
I been doing real estate; I don't want any employees so I deal with independent contractors. I want folks round me to work with me not for me. Everything working out fine.
I'm getting my diet , exercise , and meditation right.
I'm on a fast right now and I'm a be honest; I'm hungrier than a Hostage .
I am a new manager and enjoyed your video very much. I will begin using or implementing the interpersona. pieces of your discussion as best as I can.
Awesome channel without bullshit!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge,Bernd.
Love this it is one of the many hidden secrets of it all through others which is the whole foundation of it. all
Very good, very well iillustrated.it is not just the communication the thought process is very well presented
Good replay value will watch again.
Just accepted my offer for store manager at a large grocery store chain! Cheers
Congratulations!
This is crucial tips for me as I will be manager next week. Thank you a lot.
I am newer manager and was struggling with these very same problem and have had some success but wish I had been watching more videos on leadership and management.
Now, what advice do you share with the future managers?
I'm a manager for the first time after only working there for six months. I'm very nervous and I'm pretty sure I was only promoted because they were short on managers and I happened to be a good worker. The thing is I have issues with telling people what to do. I'm a pushover and I know I'm tolerating way more than is okay. But I don't have the heart to be stern with people. I have workers who sit around or disappear while on the clock. If I were a manager of a better store it'd be easier. But I just so happened to become a manager of a place that was being on the verge of closing down. And the people they hire are always lazy, or high schoolers who honestly couldn't give a shit
Looking for a video on this!
A very straightforward advices, I would like to thank you for the simplicity and informative video.
Thank you!
Thank You for this guidance. Much appreciated!
This is really important discussion for beginners and to all of us.need to learn more from you! Respect!

I wish i knew this earlier when i got first promoted, definitely real applicable advise in real situations👍
Great video. In my first role as a manager of onshore and offshore resources in telecommunications and appreciate the non activism tip the most. There is alot to learn in the effective management space and I'm completely out of my comfort zone and from the comments can see I'm not alone. Keep up the great work! Liked +Subscribed 👍
Thanks a lot. Glad it was helpful.
How you making out now?
Thanks sir for your guidance. Very deeply and clearly expressed
I was content with just being in our IT Department, then just like that i became the Marketing Manager.
9:13 cracks me up every time. "uh-huh, I see." Trying too hard to be liked and accepted would lead to a reaction like that.
This video has given me some very valuable insights. Thank you so much!!
Experience certainly shapes the way we manage. Thanks for the video
Thanks
Such great advice.
I think being honest and transparent goes a long way with building good relationships.
Thanks in advance, Mr. Geropp
Professional & distinctive pieces of information which helped me a lot in my team leader role

I have read a few management books and talked to several other managers. I’m really happy to hear so much of what I have heard echoed in so many videos like this. You do a great job of sharing examples.
Thanks
This will not be the 1st time for me becoming a manager but there's always room to learn and utilize the skills taught to build, a better team together
Really a good points you have shared . It's true that we must not speak bad about our predecessor.or about our previous job too for anyone
