Getting PROMOTED from within is different, so act differently

When you’re promoted from within:

  1. You can’t control the context – so prepare in advance and be ready to adjust as required in planned, unplanned or interim changes, securing resources and support along the way
  2. It’s hard to make a clean break – so take control of your own transition by managing the announcement cascade, securing your base, and managing first impressions in the new role.
  3. There’s no honeymoon – so quickly accelerate team progress after the start by evolving the stated and defacto strategies, improving operations and strengthening the organization
