Dear Anna,
I wasn’t successful in being promoted, but my colleague was. I now find myself reporting to them and it’s awkward for both of us. What can we do?
Being promoted from within the team into a leadership role is one of the trickiest transitions professionals make (the other one is promotion to partner, if you are wondering). People who were once your peers are now your supervisors and you are both in uncharted waters. Here’s what you can do.
