Your shiny new promotion turns out to be more than you bargained for.
In this scenario-based "Imagine if..." episode, Caroline and Danielle assume the role of a newly promoted manager who steps into a team they didn’t choose and some character-building challenges.
⚠️ Mild trigger warning for the depiction of toxic colleagues - we've all had one!
We cover:
- Walking the floor and gathering intel
- How to give the boss response to a credibility challenge
- Clarifying the authorising environment
- Lifting work quality
- When to whip out the whiteboard to create a two-way learning exercise
- Setting a vision and direction for the team that’s sensitive to the past
- Responding to bad behaviour that’s not quite misconduct
- To report or not to report; the risks of weighing in

Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....
While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
