Making a Role Your Own: Play to your strengths

Episode #114 // Starting a new role can be a little daunting, whether you’re being promoted to lead the team you used to be part of, or moving to a completely different organisation in a new industry.

Every new role requires you to go through a deliberate process to set yourself up, and to establish the right expectations with your stakeholders - your boss, your peers, your team and, depending on the role, your customers and suppliers.

As someone who transitioned through lots of roles during my corporate career, I want to lay out a bit of a roadmap for how to transition into any new role, play to your strengths, and stamp your own individual excellence on it.

So in this episode I’ll cover three key areas: 

1. How to match your skills, capabilities, and experience to any new role
2. What you can do to establish yourself as a credible performer, under any circumstances and; 
3. Some tips for drawing a line in the sand and setting or resetting expectations for your team

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
