First-time manager here and I feel like I’m failing quietly. I’ve gone from peer to manager and now every 1:1 feels awkward, and I’m constantly questioning if I’m doing enough, or too much. My team’s not complaining, but I don’t feel confident yet. For those who’ve been there: what helped you settle into leadership without losing your mind?
