Free Training Session: Managing Friends And Former Peers

(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

MISSION, Kan., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Getting promoted sometimes puts people in the difficult position of managing their old work friends. Navigating jealousy or favoritism, and just starting off on the right foot as the boss is the topic of our free LIVE session: Managing Friends and Former Peers on September 18 at 1 pm CST.

Going from friend to boss can work. But it takes a self-aware, proactive, honest approach. When interactions get awkward, you've got to fight the urge to "just give it some time." You've got to own your new role without stepping on toes. And you've also got to know how to set some clear boundaries and expectations.

This one-hour, online program, covers all that:

• 3 proactive core principles when moving from peer to leader
• What to say to set boundaries and expectations right from the start
• Resisting the urge to micromanage or judge people you know too well
• How to prevent or address any perception of favoritism
• Handling a colleague's resentment or jealously constructively

Being promoted from within is a sign of an individual's capability. But that doesn't mean it's an easy transition. This complimentary event can help. Register now for Managing Friends and Former Peers .
