Technology is your friend but only when used properly
Modern technology offers many possibilities to relieve you from administrative tasks and routine work. However, if used incorrectly, it can actually create more work. Forbes therefore advises selecting the technologies you use carefully, responsibly, and with regard to your long term needs.
Continuous learning
One of the triggers of burnout and frustration is stagnation, both in terms of career progress and personal growth. That is why you should constantly learn. Step out of your daily routine and view your field from a broader perspective, learn new things, and seek new opportunities for yourself and for your team.
Effective delegation of work
One of the keys to a long term sustainable career in people management is effective delegation. Managers who don't learn to delegate tasks efficiently are condemned to carrying far too much responsibility on their own shoulders.
Refusing work and responsibility as a necessity
As a manager, you must also learn to refuse work, both for yourself and for your team. Know the capacities of your subordinates, be ambitious and willing to motivate your team members to higher performance. But don't allow yourself to be pushed by senior management into projects and tasks that are beyond your abilities.
Team openness toward mental health and well being
Build openness in your team regarding mental health. Discuss your feelings, concerns, frustrations, and well being. If you don't have to hide your feelings from your team, you will find your work becomes much easier.
