Becoming a manager doesn't mean that you have to have all the answers. When a team member comes to you with a question, facilitating the problem-solving process helps develop judgment and ownership.
It's okay to take time to think before responding, as thoughtful deliberation is a sign of strong leadership and shows humility. This encourages your team to ask for help when needed.
Expecting yourself to know everything is unrealistic and leads to burnout. Not knowing everything opens opportunities for trust-building and learning within your team.
Take my client Felix, a newly promoted manager. His reliability earned him a leadership role overseeing many projects. This pressure to know everything is common among new managers.
