Description

Starting a new leadership role comes with fear — the challenges, the unknowns, the need to prove you're worthy of the position. Here is what we work through: * Understanding the position and expectations in a new role * How to deal with coworkers once you're in a higher position * Adapting to the new identity — owning responsibilities * Finding your leadership style — who you are as a leader * Managing friends and former peers who used to be your equals And once that settles, the real work starts, and the question changes: How to be better? The following can help you with that: * How to delegate to a friend who used to share the same workload – and what it means when they don't do it the way you would * How to deal with conflict - within and across relationships; the dilemma of holding former peers accountable, dealing with stakeholder dynamics * Relationships within the same firm — the hardest part * Making the call without second-guessing yourself
