I've started a new job as a team leader of a group of great people in an IT role. One of the guys made an easy mistake and now we have to fix it. Really not that big a deal in the scheme of the world's problems.
This is the first time I've been formally in charge of a team and when shit hit the fan I felt like shit. I wasn't at all angry, like I said easy mistake to make, and needing to own up wasn't a big deal. But I couldn't stop feeling the pressure today, I had aweful indigestion, quick pulse and felt physically sick.
Is this anxiety and do people deal with this daily? If so I can't help but feel sorry for sufferers. How do you deal with it? I'm generally a really chill guy and do yoga but breathing made no difference.
I said to my boss I won't let my work get in the way of family so I need to be aware of this. I know this is only a one off but I feel a little freaked out.
To my team's credit we all banded together and backed each other up. I won't get too hung up on the issue but I think I will struggle to organise a response to the issue. This is somewhat new territory for me, so the nerves are expected, but I can't shake that feeling. Hopefully it drives me to come back and respond harder.
Anyone been in similar pickles; how did you work though it?
