Got the Big Office, But Lost My Voice?

I always thought landing a leadership role would be the highlight of my career. But after being picked to head a new team—mainly because of my fancy degree—I feel more like a ghost in the office than a boss. Every meeting feels like I'm talking to a wall. My ideas just float by, and the team looks at me like I don’t belong. Maybe it’s because I’m the youngest manager here, but the doubt in their eyes is hard to ignore. Honestly, I’m at a loss. Has anyone else felt completely out of place after stepping up? How did you earn your team’s trust and actually feel like a leader? I’d love to hear your stories or advice. 😔 #LeadershipJourney #TeamDynamics #WorkplaceAdvice #JobCareer
