Leading Former Peers: Script Pack

What to say when your coworkers, and maybe your friends, now report to you.

Yesterday you were one of the team. Today you approve their time off and give them feedback. This 10-page script pack gives you the words for the conversations most new managers put off.

Who it’s for: anyone who was just promoted over the people they used to work beside.

What’s inside:

• A word-for-word script for the first one-on-one, plus versions for a close friend, a skeptic, and the person who also wanted the job
• A short team kickoff script, and what not to say
• Boundary scripts for venting, gossip, happy hour, and special requests
• How to respond when someone tests you
• Four steps for correcting a friend
• A worksheet to plan each conversation
