Ever found yourself managing a team where you don't have direct experience in their field? I've been there, and I know how nerve-wracking it can be. In Episode 162 of Managing Made Simple, I'm sharing one of the biggest mistakes I see managers make in this situation: downplaying their own expertise.
It might seem humble, but trust me, this can seriously backfire. Your team needs a confident leader, someone who can guide them and provide support.
I'll share some practical tips on how to effectively lead a team outside your area of expertise, including how to acknowledge your limitations without diminishing your value, how to leverage your strengths, and how to be a connector who gets your team the support they need. Plus, I'll share a personal story about the time I had to manage an engineer (with zero engineering background!) and what I learned from that experience.
đïž Key Takeaways:
[0:00] Intro: The challenge of managing outside your expertise.
[1:17] The common mistake managers make in this situation.
[3:25] How to lead with humility and credibility.
[6:05] A personal story of managing an engineer as a program manager.
[9:45] Final tips for building trust and confidence as a leader.đ Book Launch: The New Manager Playbook

Spoiler: yes, the answer is yes.
