I was wondering if there were any tips or mental exercises that I could do to boost my confidence and become a better LEADER and help my group become more efficient and produce quality work.
Join some sort of hobby group and take a leadership role? Leaders are born; however, they can be made if you put enough effort into it.
Nothing will ruin you faster than micro managing. All it does is shut down your top talent.

As much as I don't like micromanagement, it works. And until I get to my sign my own paycheck, I have to do what my company asks of me.
In my industry, we are the one company that has consistently grown our business where our competition remains flat. Why? It's because we are consistently coaching up (or out), getting granular with our sales leaders, setting action items with defined due dates and inspecting what we're expecting. By micromanaging, we are closer to our people, which makes them closer to their business and in turn, it allows us to out execute our competition.
Some people may not work well under those conditions, but the expectations are well known before they step foot into my region. People have a choice and I'm certainly not forcing them to work for me or the company that I represent.
