🗣 Step-by-step guide to have tough conversations - FREE guide! www.mikeashie.com/pl/2147596511

When I started in my first manager position I began ever shift by getting there early. Could be as simple as 10-15mins early but when you do this it gives you time to get settled in and helps better prepare you for your day ahead. It has done me wonders and I recommend it to anyone just starting out.

1) Define a time to sit with your team, Prepare questions, Listen 2) Have mentors to help guide you. Get on by... Looking for somebody who you admire and is levelheaded 3) Read 2 Books a month, Learn from outside sources 4) Journal about your previous day/self-reflection (helps with clarity, realizing your wins and growing) Bonus: Go and watch every video he has on his channel

Tomorrow I start my second supervisor position. Got fired from the last job for being a bad manager but I learned a lot. Thanks for the tips and wish me luck with my second chance.

You’re responsible for keeping your mind sharp. I appreciate the message.

This is the second video I've listened to today. I just subscribed to your channel. So impressed with the advice you are providing to current and up-and-coming workers and leaders. Your commentary is accruate and helpful to all of us. Of all the mentors I have in my life and long career in HR... I would only add that, in time, I understood that these individuals who became, and have remained, in my life were believers in LISTENING. They also all had humor, allowed me to make mistakes, especially at the beginning of my work journey through my 30 years in my positions, and have remained contacts for me to this day. Sadly, two of the individuals have passed. Their advice and support has lifted me and I now, at 66, provide a listening ear and sympathy to younger workers around me. I have not sought out this role. It has come to me, and surprise, by my actions. It's wonderful because I don't give advice unless I'm asked. LISTENING and providing encouragement and suggestions goes a long way. Mentors are there.... they are usually the people who demonstrate a humor, a quiet confidence, and they LISTEN when you talk. I learned the hard way. LOL

My mum was meticulous about punctuality, and always taught us to be early. If you're early, you're on time, if you're on time you're late, and if you're late, it's unacceptable! In fact, when she said be home by 10pm, she meant 9.55 at the latest

More fantastic content for a first time manager! Cheers!

Mike please keep these content coming ! It’s my first week and this is the best video I could watch today !

Great video, I saw your video last week and decided to make one of my own. It's great now that youtube is around we can get information faster and directly from the source. Growing up in the early stages of the internet I had to work my way up many times and fall even more times before I felt comfortable in management.

Awesome tips! Thanks for your videos. They've helped me get through my first month of being of a first time manager.

Awesome video! New manager here and definitely going to try these. Thank you sir.

Hi, first of all, I want to say thank you, I just got promoted and I started to search for tips and pieces of advice on how not to fail during my first week and you are what I have found. I watched the video and in the middle of it, I decided that I want to subscribe and watch the rest of your work because of the context and way how you give this to us. I hope that I'll become a great manager to my team thanks to you :)

These are powerful ideas. Implementing any of them (or better all of them) will give great results. Specially mentorship I would say is a very fast way to openly discuss your fears and get advise from more experience professional who went through that. Thanks Mike for sharing!

Thank you so much!

Great content! I shall be watching all of your videos as I begin my journey as an operations manager tomorrow.

Great, useful information and saga advice! Thank you!

Really appreciate you and your content, Thank you

You are my best mentor I could ever find kind Sir. Thank you a million times for this and all the other amazing contents of yours. I am in the midst of getting there and need these invalubel tips and advice to help me succeed. May the alimigty bless you with all the great things in the world.

This is great, Mike! The basics are forgotten so often even by experienced managers. Very much down my street :-) Sharing a similar attitude and approach on my channel.
