Women stepping into leadership: Managing former peers

Starting a new leadership role – either being promoted at the same company or starting at a new company – comes with fear, challenges, unknowns, the need to prove you're worthy of the position. It is more than just more responsibility, and when you are in it, you face the challenges and at that point you are no longer looking at it from the outside. During the sessions, we focus on • Owning the position, finding your tone and leadership style • From doing the work to making it happen, moving from preparing for to acting on decisions • Managing former peers - delegating, instructing, pointing out mistakes but not sounding bossy • Handling rivalry on the team • Having difficult conversations and giving feedback • Navigating conflict, resolving tensions, managing relationships • Making the call without second-guessing yourself
