Friday…you clocked out as an employee. Monday…you walked in as a manager. You didn’t change over the weekend but other’s perceptions of you did. Your role changed. Your relationships changed.
Here’s a short list of common perception roadblocks new managers face…
The REST EASY perspective: I’m glad she got the position because we’re friends and friends help friends!
The RESENTFUL perspective: You got the job I applied for. Now I have to work for you. You’ll have to prove you’re the better pick!
The DEFIANT perspective: You were the one doing it last week, now
