Get through your first months managing people who were your peers
you've just been promoted over people who were your peers, feedback feels awkward, and one of them isn't taking it well.
Built on
Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson · 1982
Supplies a small weekly rhythm: one-minute goals on a single page, praisings, and reprimands aimed at the behavior, not the person. Makes feedback routine instead of an event.
Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan & Al Switzler · 2021
Supplies the one conversation the rhythm can't: the former peer who resents you. Separate facts from story, use STATE, and contrast what you don't mean with what you do.
