How do you transition from team member to team leader without letting the pressure and power turn you into a bad boss? I interact so often with well-meaning new managers suddenly discovering how different it is to lead the team than to be a member of it. Luckily, we have the wisdom of executive coach and author Sabina Nawaz to turn to!

Sabina wrote her new book, “You're The Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)” after spending more than 20 years counseling C-level executives and experiencing her own “bad boss” moment. She speaks with me about how to balance the pressure and power of management and use it to bring out the very best in your leadership journey, wherever on the corporate ladder you might be.

Fine-tune your leadership with Sabina’s expertise:

• How to become pressure-proof so you can turn tension into teamwork;
• The microhabits that can help you be a compassionate leader (and partner, and parent);
• How to deal with the feedback distortion that occurs when you shift from team member to manager;
• Self-assessment questions that will identify your challenges and make you a better boss.
