Some people neglect writing and self development. They simply look at what other leaders do and follow suit. Writing however builds you up and opens your mind to a lot of things; creativity, emotional intelligence and others. In writing, you get to find your voice and niche; you get to know your strengths and get audience who believe and buy into it.

It's sad that in embracing tech, most writers get lazy in the process and become fully dependent on it. Remember technology is here to make your work easy and not make you lazy, WRITE YOUR OWN PIECES!!! You are a writer because you want to connect with your readers and let them feel it all in your piece or script. Use technology for research, checking grammatical errors and content ideas on days you seem to have a block. Technology is there to serve you and make life much more easy so use it wisely.

Remember, well-defined roles are the foundation of effective delegation, enabling team members to work efficiently and deliver high-quality results. This help you create a framework for success and foster a culture of clarity and productivity.

Well defined roles ensure effective task delegation and you can ensure that by first identifying the task requirements; break down tasks into specific responsibilities. Assess the team strength as it aids in matching tasks with team members' skills, expertise, and interests. Establish clear job descriptions by outlining specific roles, responsibilities, and expectations. Continue by defining a decision-making authority, thus clarify levels of autonomy and approval requirements. Communicate expectations, establish accountability by setting clear performance metrics and feedback channels. And last but definitely not the least, review and adjust by regularly assessing role effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.

You can begin by building your social media presence by ensuring your handles and websites (if you've got one) are professional and consistent. Try as much as you can to publish regularly- articles, contributing to blog posts in sync with your brand, this will help sell and communicate to your readers what your expertise is. -Engage with other writers and industry professionals to build relationships and join professional organizations- writing associations to learn from other industry experts and show commitment to your craft. - Last but not the least, create interesting and informative writing contents. Can be ebooks, webinars that talk about the craft, short stories on facebook and other platforms, this will create visibility too.

In instances where it seems everyone on the team is out to get you and the room is literally screaming 'we don't want you, get out of our faces', you need to really calm down. 90% of the time they act in that manner not because they 'hate' you but because of some bad experiences they've had with other team leads in the past. - Take time off to get to know them, personally and as a team, they will learn to trust you when they see the genuinity in your actions. -Every team member wants a lead who listens, acknowledges and validates them. Always remember that.
