Renowned as a keynote speaker, trainer, and Forbes Contributor, Romanella founded 3SIXTY Management Services, LLC. With 40+ years in leadership, he served as CEO and Director at UniTek Global Services after a 36-year UPS career.When promoting an employee into a management position, what are your responsibilities as the leader to make sure the new manager makes a successful transition into leadership?
The answer to that question would depend greatly on the specifics of a particular situation. However, there are some vitally important guidelines that simply must be followed in EVERY situation if the transition to a leadership position is to be successful.
Rocky Romanella, one of the top motivational speakers in the US and author of a bestselling book on leadership, 'Tighten The Lug Nuts,' recently addressed this topic in a newsletter article titled, 'Put Me In, Coach - Your Support Of A New Promotion.' In that article, he said in part.
As a leader who has made the promotion recommendation, you have two clear responsibilities to the person who has been promoted. The first is to clearly define the expectations you have for them and their role and responsibilities. They are now role models in this new responsibility, and everything they do "speaks". This new reality must be reflected in their attitude, approach, and, most importantly, in their behavior. They can never lose sight that your expectations and theirs must be in sync.
Below are some examples of expectations. Your list will be your list, and your expectations must be clearly communicated and outlined to them by you.
They are brand ambassadors for their personal brand and the organization's brand.
They get their results through others.
They confer with their partners and teammates in other departments such as legal, finance, HR, and those they work with on a regular basis.
They will need to become familiar with company policies, procedures, protocols, and regulations which will protect their people, the company, and their reputation.
You aspire for them to become a learning machine, and they lead by example in their desire to be The Best, The Brightest, Most Informed, and the Best-educated person they can be.
Secondly, as the leader, you will have to believe in them until they have the confidence, knowledge, and success to believe in themselves. You bridge this knowledge and confidence gap through your help, support, and belief in them. Your belief in them, until they are ready to believe in themselves, is often the difference-maker in the success of a new promotion.
Finally, as in all we do as the leader, “we set the tone from the top!” To set that leadership standard, you should consider setting and articulating your Leadership Expectations to the organization. These clearly defined expectations, combined with your values and workplace policies, all provide guidelines for you to model "What Exceptional Leadership Looks Like.”
