Leaders transition periodically into various positions and at times, replacing one another. Key points in this podcast reminds us of the importance in transitioning well as we focus on maintaining the team's morale and nurturing them through the transitional changes. The goal is not to duplicate your predecessor's work but to maintain a forward movement in your organization while being your authentic self. Be consistent in the leadership skills you bring to the room. Have the crucial conversations with your predecessor to avoid duplication of work. Follow suit by having the conversations with your team to assess where you are now and where you want to take them. As you reframe the teams' structure using your unique skillset, remember change in leadership is not reflective of your predecessor nor is it personal toward the new incoming leader. The goal is to address the thriving, plateauing and declining groups in a way to help merge and move them forward together. Become the new symbol for collaboration and forward movement.
