My brush with the managers position

As a senior lifeguard for the NYC beaches i was promoted to being in charge of bay 12 in the Coney Island Beach. There are 21 bays that make up this beach and bay 12 was mine to manage. The issue that arose right away was the relationship between my fellow lifeguards. Once their equal, now i was put to manage them. I had three people to manage, and at first evrything was fine. I tried to please everybody on the bay by letting them have a say in how the bay was going to be run. It became a proble when i could not allow all request to go through was left to choose. Towards the end of the summer I decided to ignore people's demands and do what I felt was proper and follow my supervizors orders. You cannot please evrybody so at the end of the day just do it the way that it affects all of the employees equally, whether it is abd or good.
