You’ve Been Promoted, Now What? 21

Quick Reminders to Keep You on Track

This book is about what happens in the 12 months after you’re promoted to a
manager or leadership position.
In this chapter, there is useful information about the following:

■ Great opportunities and hazardous duty: the two sides of being
promoted
■ The newly promoted leader dilemma
■ Examples of the challenges that fuel the newly promoted leader dilemma
■ Frequently cited problems that derail newly promoted leaders
■ How to overcome the newly promoted leader dilemma: the 12 success
practices needed for getting up to speed more quickly and effectively
than ever before
■ This is a period of professional and personal change unlike any other in
your career. Your first year can, and likely will, be simultaneously vexing
and energizing. You will certainly be challenged. You will need to draw
on your professional, interpersonal, and personal abilities and resources.
■ When you are promoted to your first or subsequent management posi-
tions, you are really dealing with two transitions simultaneously: (1) the
organizational and management effects of moving up and (2) the per-
sonal effects of moving up such as those affecting you, possibly a spouse
or partner, your family, and others with whom you are very close. Suc-
cess in one major area of your life supports success in the others.
■ A primary goal of Just Promoted! is to help you achieve success at work
and at home during the first year after your appointment.
■ There is a process for success during the 12 months after being pro-
moted as a manager. This process corresponds with the organization of
