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.

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
