In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee answer a question that has come in from a listener: “how do I deal with being promoted when a colleague thought the promotion was theirs, and is resentful of me securing the role?”

We love to receive and answer your questions – and this was a great one to dive into.

In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee Discuss, at a broad level, how to handle being promoted above peers who feel resentful.

We talk about the importance of tackling the issue head-on through a direct conversation that acknowledges the peer's feelings while setting clear expectations.

We suggest encouraging the resentful colleague to seek feedback on why they weren't chosen, from the decision makers themselves, and then offering support for their career development, where you are able to contribute to this.

We also talk about the importance of setting and maintaining boundaries around appropriate behaviour, and how this helps to build trust with the wider team.

If you find yourself in this situation, remember this is not your role, as a new leader, to solve this challenge for your colleague.

We would love to hear from you about how you have navigated this experience in the past.

In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee recap our Summer Series of interviews and share their highlights and biggest take aways.

One of the key themes we identified across all of our guests was the importance of values-based businesses, and how values impact hiring, leading and managing staff. We are both seeing the increasing desire, especially among younger generations, to join workplaces that align with personal values and offer more than just transactional work.

We also discuss how having a clear purpose or "North Star" can help businesses navigate uncertain times and foster innovation.

We also talk about the issue of psychological safety in the workplace, the challenges of leading volunteers, and the diverse perspectives on leadership shared by their guests throughout the series.

We would love to hear from you about your feedback on our Summer Series. You can share your thoughts and make suggestions for future guests at https://www.facebook.com/growyourinfluence/
