We all love the idea of promoting from within—it’s a win for everyone. But with that comes the challenge of going from working alongside someone to leading them. That transition can feel awkward, but it’s also where true leadership begins.
In Episode 17 of Construction Trailblazers: Paving the Way to Excellence, we’re diving into how to navigate that tricky shift from peer to manager. This episode is packed with insights on how to earn respect, set boundaries, and lead with confidence, all while keeping those personal connections intact.
So, if you're ready to step into leadership without losing the camaraderie, this episode is for you. Listen in as we break down the practical steps to make this transition smoother and more successful—because leadership doesn’t have to mean leaving those relationships behind.
