Reseña del editor:

Managing friends or former peers can be awkward. When you become the boss, everything about these relationships can suddenly be uncomfortable. There’s a new set of groundrules to establish - as manager, you are going be accountable for the work performance of friends or former co-workers on the team, and they are going to have to adjust to the fact that they now report to you. Everyone involved can feel awkward and hesitant about the future. There could be people on your team who wanted the promotion given to you, feel you're not qualified for the job, deeply miss your predecessor and resent having to "start over" with someone else, or expect special treatment based on the connection you had as friends or peers. Becoming the team's new leader is tough enough. Doing so when one or more members of the team are personal friends or former peers can be daunting. That said, it can be done. "Managing Friends & Former Peers" will give you everything you need to know to move forward with confidence and grace. Like all Just In Time books, the focus is on just one leadership skill - how to manage friends and former peers - a small but critical subset of broader leadership competencies - holding difficult conversations, coaching employees, and setting standards, just to name a few. You can successfully manage people who’ve been your friend or co-worker. It won’t happen by chance, and it’s not a matter of pulling some management “trick” out of your hat. But you can learn how to do it, and you can apply what you’re about to learn right away.

Biografía del autor:

I'm delighted you stopped by to visit. Throughout my career, I've been passionate about leadership. I've had the opportunity to explore the secrets of effective leaders, from how they create a compelling vision to how they sweat the small stuff, from how they make tough decisions to how they navigate a difficult conversation, from how they inspire to what makes them perspire. I've had the enormous privilege of working with leaders in over 200 organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. Along the way, I've learned that nearly anyone can be effective in a leadership role, should you choose that path. You're not "born" a leader, you develop skills that increase your effectiveness. My mission became to discover exactly what successful leaders do, and share what I learn with others who want to make a difference. There are several ways I do this: 1. I'm a leadership coach, working one-to-one with executives, managers, supervisors and team leaders. 2. I design and facilitate team-building events for leaders and their staff. 3. I design and conduct leadership academies and workshops. 4. I write practical leadership books, articles, and posts on the Leadership Almanac blog, which I founded in 2008. I'm based in San Diego, and serve clients throughout the United States and Canada. My personal passions include photography, playing the keyboard, and bicycling. Lately I'm getting excited about learning I have a bit of skill in the kitchen as well.
