Lately, the Energize Leadership team has been working with several leaders who are dealing with a very real situation of having to adjust to a new boss and having a difficult time with it. We wanted to share some useful thoughts on the topic in case you are currently in this situation.

• Eight tips for making it work when a new boss comes around
• Three situations where you should be looking at your options very closely
• How to handle this situation responsibly and in a way that maintains your reputation
• The types of conversations you should — and shouldn't — be having with your peers
• … and more!

Highlights of this episode include:

• Andi's journey to her current role as the SVP of People and Culture at LAZ Parking
• Andi's non-traditional HR approach (and why it works!)
• How Andi and her team have fostered one of the most positive, heart-centered workplace cultures at LAZ Parking
• Practical self-care strategies for the leaders of today
• The importance of taking care of your employees (and what that really means for HR)
• Aligning your life's path with your life's purpose
• … and more!

We decided to do something a little different on the Energize Leadership Podcast during holiday weeks by picking a relevant topic to cover and discussing briefly the challenges and possible solutions we thought would be helpful on that topic.

Enjoy!
