What do you see as the most difficult task in being a manager?

"As a manager, the most difficult task for me is to delegate the work evenly. You will always have team members who are absolute rock-stars, then some who are a bit less enthusiastic or are lower producers. I have to remind myself to distribute the work and responsibilities evenly despite my natural inclination to give more work to the high performers. I am currently working with my underperforming team members to prepare them for a larger workload."

"I think the most challenging part of management is keeping a good balance between being a mentor, and a respected leader. I want to be the type of manager who people can come to when they need help, but also with boundaries when it comes to delegation and performance reviews."
