Resetting Roles – Setting Clear Expectations to Shift from Peer to Leader
Transitioning from team member to team leader can feel awkward, especially when colleagues are accustomed to seeing you as an equal. By setting new expectations with your former peers, you establish the framework for your role as their leader while maintaining familiarity and respect. This strategy involves hosting an open meeting to communicate your goals, outline team expectations, and address your commitment to the team’s success. Taking a transparent approach helps you reinforce authority while respecting established relationships.
