Also I did have a hire that isn't really working out. My hire, I take 100% responsibility, but still felt coerced by others.

They are now on a corrective action course. Hopefully, it will all work out.

What sort of team do you run where you want your word to be gospel? As manager, you should definitely get the final word, not all words.

Tell people specifically what they need to do. "You should work harder" , "your work is not meeting standards" are completely vague and unhelpful

What? That's dumb. Every competent employee should know when to use RGB(0,0,255) instead of RGB(0,0,254) without having to be spoonfed that kind of information.

Learn to deal with ambiguity here, folks.
