Any tips/resources to improve leading teams or unofficial “direct reports?”

My time in the workforce has historically had me at the bottom of the totem pole. However, in the past few months I’ve had a few new additions to my team that look to me for guidance, feedback, or delegation of tasks.

I know I struggle to delegate because I get tasked with many ad hoc items that require a quick turnaround and I feel that I don’t have the time to show/train/QA their deliverable.

Tips appreciated!!

Call them in and have them watch you do your work. Then later have them take one of the quick turn around taskers while you watch them do it. Then have them do it alone and send it to you to double check before sending out.

I got a full time offer from the company I interned at this summer. However, I have been applying and interviewing at various consulting firms so far. Some of them I won’t hear back until September/October. Is it wrong to accept the offer and then reject it if I get a better offer? I don’t wanna burn a bridge with this company since I really enjoyed my experience there but I have to be smart with my decision since I graduate in December and need an earlier work start date.
