I got a lot of responsibility quite quickly so I would say I am in this situation. There are a few things I try to do to overcome the problem:

- You can't do everything and you can't do it perfect every time but you can try your best every time.

- People you work with are older, smarter and more experienced. So make use of it, ask questions and make it clear that you are willing to learn everything where you lack knowledge.

- Look out for people who have certain capabilities which you would like to adopt. For example how they interact with a customers or how they organize tasks. Observe how they do that and what their workflow is. Try it and figure out if it fits you too. You can also ask for tips as these people had to figure it out too.

- Reflect. After some time look back at your work and figure out where things went wrong. Change your workflow to avoid that it happens again.

- Everyone wings it on an everyday basis, so you can do it too.
