When the people you lead know more than you do

Half the people who report to me have been doing this work since before I started, and it quietly rattles me. When it's my call to make, I catch myself deferring to them, letting their years override my judgment. I'm supposed to lead them, and mostly I'm intimidated by them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You have to lead people more experienced than you and feel intimidated by them.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
