Track 15: When Peers Are Promoted in the Workplace (From Buddy to Boss)
Leadership Transition Tips
The Promoted
• Clarify your new role and expectations.
• Be patient for others to adjust.
• Re-engineer your relationships.
• Focus on what’s good for the business.
• Re-enlist former (supportive) peers.
The Promoted Over
• Cut some slack—this will be awkward for them for a while also.
• Show positional respect—earned respect comes with time.
• When you stop resisting and adapt, things get better.
