\"Employee<\/p>\n

Not only did I absolutely not know what I was doing, my team knew it. <\/p>\n

Chaos ensued. Compliance<\/a> regulations, SOPs<\/a>, and basic safety measures<\/a> flew out the window because the team didn\u2019t trust that I knew what I was doing (which is fair: I didn\u2019t). <\/p>\n

It ended up taking three months to get a temporary manager to come over from one of the other stores, and by then I was frustrated beyond belief. The moment she walked in the door, I handed over my keys, put in my notice, and refused to discuss the possibility of staying on in any capacity for any longer.<\/p>\n

Back then, I was only 20, this was one of my first leadership roles, and I was clueless. Since then, I\u2019ve held other leadership positions, had some attentive mentors, and gotten to develop the leadership skills<\/a> that they don\u2019t tell you about in the job description. Today, I could walk into that same situation and roll with it, no problem. <\/p>\n

Without those opportunities, though, I would still be that clueless kid failing to get his team united, failing to develop their<\/em> skills, and failing to see his job as anything more than a means to an end.<\/p>\n

Not prioritizing employee development is a bad look, people teams. But \u2013 as I\u2019ve said many times before \u2013 Process Street\u2019s<\/a> got your back. Check it out:<\/p>\n

Employee development: Back to basics<\/h2>\n
