In my experience, staff are promoted into leadership roles and then develop them once there. This is despite the fact that a better approach is to give them the tools to do the job first and then promote them to the role once equipped. In the first scenario, the new leader is left unsupported and drowning. Newly promoted leaders often feel they must prove themselves by achieving a lot in their first year. However, they risk burn out if they try to do it all themselves. A sign of a great leader is one who is confident enough to delegate effectively.
Delegation provides opportunities for people to feel empowered, supported, and encouraged. It also gives the leader a chance to dial down overwhelm and stress by spreading out the workload amongst the team.

Whenever you insert a new shape into a PowerPoint slide, you can see that it is filled with a solid color and has an outline by default (this may differ depending on the Theme applied to your presentation). You can remove the fill of the shape as well as the outline. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to remove an outline from a shape so that it only includes a fill without any outline. Whatever you do, make sure that you either remove the fill or the outline because if you remove both, then your shape will no longer be visible.
Remove the outline from any shape in PowerPoint 365 for Mac.
