When you're promoted to lead a team of your former peers, how do you balance friendships with leadership responsibilities? How do you establish authority without losing camaraderie?

In this episode of The Leadership Surgery, Paul, Anthony, Sally, and Dan dive into Lauren's real-life challenge of transitioning from a team member to a team leader. They offer expert advice on setting boundaries, being transparent, and maintaining self-awareness.

They discuss the importance of having upfront conversations about new boundaries and expectations, the role of self-awareness and reflection in developing leadership identity, and strategies for delegating tasks to avoid burnout. They also emphasize the need for support from line managers and peers during this transition.
