Tips for managing others while still in somewhat of a junior role? How do I allow the person reporting into me to shine but also not make it feel as if I’m not handling anything on the day to day? I.e. I allow them to handle some client comms with significant input from me and then senior leadership see’s the response and thinks that they are really going beyond their role when I’m doing most of the ideation
