Just Got Promoted? Don’t Make These Mistakes: 11 Tips for New Supervisors to Help You Ease the Transition, Build Trust, Establish Your Presence, and Lead.

Have you just gotten promoted or looking to promote soon? This episode might save you a lot of heartache. 10 years ago this week I was promoted to sergeant. And then, just about a year ago I was promoted to lieutenant. In that time I’ve had some wins…and a whole lot of losses. I’ve also read a ton on leadership and been able to try out a lot of those academic theories in the real world. Then, I went back to academia and got my Master’s in Public Administration with an emphasis in Public Sector Leadership and Management. So suffice it to say, I’ve got some experience being a front line supervisor. And here’s the biggest tip I didn’t even include on the list…that being a front line supervisor is much easier than being a front line leader. When in doubt, be the leader. In this episode, I share 11 tips for new supervisors that I think are important for you to know. It’s not a complete list – that would take many episodes and perhaps I’ll do more if you like these. But, this is 11 issues that I commonly see. Some are mistakes I made, some are common problems, and some might help you think about your role a little differently. New leader’s are often left without support or an idea of how they can develop into their full potential. That’s why I created The Leader’s Workbook , a FREE resource for anyone who is, or wants to be, a leader in their agency and wants to learn how to expand their influence and contribution.
