5 Mistakes New Managers Make: Stop Managing Like You're Still on the Team

You got the promotion — now what? Most new managers make the same costly mistakes in their first 90 days without even realizing it. From micromanaging the team they used to be part of, to avoiding hard conversations, to confusing being liked with being respected — this episode breaks down the traps that trip up new leaders and what to do instead. If you're new to the role or about to step into one, this is your playbook for getting it right from day one.The good news? Every one of these mistakes is fixable. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts Dimitrius Naylor I got my start in the automotive industry back in 2008, but my foundation was built long before that in the United States Marine Corps, where I learned discipline, accountability, and what it truly means to serve others. Over the past 16+ years, I’ve carried those lessons into every dealership I’ve led. My leadership philosophy is simple but powerful: find a way to say yes, find a way to serve. Whether it’s serving customers, developing my team, or elevating store performance, I believe leadership starts with service and ends with results.
