today\u2019s bissett bullet: \u201cas you progress throughout your career, you may find yourself in situations where those who are on the same level as you in terms of earnings or seniority are suddenly your subordinates. how you handle that situation is critical.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

by martin bissett<\/em><\/p>\n

exercise humility in leadership and if you come up against staff who resent your seniority, try to spend time with them away from the office in a more informal setting. help them get to know you and understand that you are in the position you are based on merit. gently let them know that you hold the keys to their own career progression, but rise above the politics and invite them to work collaboratively with you.<\/span><\/h4>\n

ultimately, you will manage these people up or you will manage them out, but the partners in your firm will be watching to see how you respond to this sort of situation and what sort of leader you might have the potential to become.<\/span><\/h4>\n

today\u2019s to-do:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

think about how you would like to be treated if roles were reversed and how you would feel encouraged by a boss who used to be a colleague.<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n
