Have you recently been promoted to a supervisory role?
Congratulations! Your new supervisory role at your company will most likely
come with a series of perks and benefits from a pay-raise to getting to a team
of your own towards success. So, what about the negatives or the more tenuous
parts about becoming a supervisor? For example, the possible dynamic shift
between your previous supervisor if they're still maintaining their title. How
do you make the adjustment from being their employee to their colleague? One of
the leading employment
agencies in Albany shares some advice for moving from supervisee to
supervisor.
Prior to the
Promotion
If you've decided to put your bid in for a management spot
alongside your current manager, make sure to inform them of your intentions. By
doing this you're showing respect for their title, but also opening the
conversation for advice on what they think would be the best way to go about
this and what they believe it takes to be a great supervisor.
The Promotion
You've now interviewed for the position and have been
notified that you've earned your promotion to management. If there is a part of
you that secretly feels that you don't deserve it, ignore it. It's a normal
response among many that move up the ranks in their industry. You will also
need to change the way you view and interact with your previous boss as they
are now a peer. Your work and the employees you manage should now come first.
If your previous manager still expects you to drop what you're doing, be
respectful but firm. You have a new set of priorities now, and it is both up to
you to uphold them and your new colleague to respect them.
If Problems Occur
It’ll take some time for both you and your old supervisor to
adjust to the new shift of power and that's okay. Many supervisors ultimately
handle this shift very well; but occasionally, there are managers who can't let
go of the mindset that you are beneath them. Try and talk it out if possible,
suggests the staffing
agency in Albany, OR. If talking doesn't work and the issue continues
or gets worse, reach out to your HR department or your new supervisor for
additional assistance. Remember, because of your hard work, dedication, and
loyalty, you have earned this position and deserve the happiness and sense of
fulfillment that comes along with it.
