From colleague to manager. How do you handle that?
For new managers, impartiality is one of the biggest challenges. Your personal preference in terms of former colleagues plays no role in making decisions.
Discuss with your entire team how all employees view you as the new leader, and what this change means to them.
Before you begin, it is best to leave behind and classify the preconceptions or assumptions that are out there about you.
You can't always get along with every colleague, and make sure you never favor your favorite colleagues.
Focus on a good business relationship with each team member.
