When your Line Manager changes, for whatever reason, this can feel unsettling as you both have to build a new relationship and build trust. Since joining the team here at Quest, I have only had to report to one Manager. I had built a great relationship with Amy, and she had trained me so I had a good knowledge of her style and preferences and expectations.
As Kelly joined the team and assumed the role as my new manager this felt a little daunting as, although she has fit straight into the team, I have no idea how best to work together and so I start a new journey to build the foundations of our working relationship. I wanted to share the approach I have taken:
Build a Relationship with the New Manager:
Stay Positive:
Understand Their Leadership Style:
Clarify Expectations:
Stay Flexible:
Communicate Effectively:
Network within the Team:
Learn and Grow:
Give It Time:
Remember, change can be unsettling initially, but by approaching it with a positive mindset and a proactive attitude, you can navigate the transition more smoothly.
As we now settle into our new routine and have spent a couple of months getting to know each other, I feel we have built a good working relationship and this has helped me to feel reassured in my role and also excited about the opportunities this will present in 2024.
