So This Is What 'Making It' Feels Like?

I always pictured stepping into a leadership role as this big, triumphant moment—like the universe would finally recognize all my hard work. Instead, I landed in a new city, leading a team that barely acknowledges I exist. I'm the youngest manager here, and honestly, it feels like I'm just a shadow in the room. Every idea I throw out seems to disappear before it even lands. The silence after I speak is almost louder than any response I could hope for. Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they got the title but not the respect? If you've been here before, how did you break through? I could really use some advice before I start second-guessing everything. 😔 #LeadershipJourney #TeamChallenges #WorkplaceStruggles #JobCareer
