Als aufstrebende Führungskraft, die in eine übergeordnete Rolle wechselt, ist es wichtig, diesen Übergang mit Bedacht zu navigieren. Beginnen Sie, indem Sie klare Kommunikationswege etablieren und Vertrauen bei Ihrem neuen Team aufbauen. Entwickeln Sie ein tiefes Verständnis für die strategischen Ziele der Organisation und richten Sie Ihre Anstrengungen darauf aus. Setzen Sie auf kontinuierliches Lernen und Selbstreflexion, um Ihre Führungsfähigkeiten zu verbessern. Suchen Sie Unterstützung und Mentoring von erfahrenen Führungspersönlichkeiten. Schließlich, bleiben Sie flexibel und anpassungsfähig in Ihrer Herangehensweise, um die Herausforderungen dieser neuen Position erfolgreich zu bewältigen und nachhaltige Veränderungen zu initiieren.

Segun mi experiencia, para transitar exitosamente a un rol superior, es trascendental identificar los factores claves de éxito de dicha función con la mayor agilidad posible, asi mismo, asimilar que cada ascenso involucra nuevos compromisos con los equipos de talentos que se posee o que se tendran a cargo, por lo que relacionarse con ellos es fundamental para poder levantar la información adecuada y con ella poder desempeñar un rol sobresaliente.

Transitioning and settling into a new executive leader role? Consider the following steps: - Mindset shift- Get more comfortable with delegation of tasks. The organization and teams need your strategic thinking, not simply managing daily tasks. - Leadership influence- Build relationships and collaborate with your colleagues across functions and departments. - Executive coaching- Have the confidence to seek out a coach who can help guide you in this next era of leadership.

First and foremost, - Don't change, stay yourself. You're growing for who you're as a person first, not what you do. You're going to inspire people because of your behavior. - Focus on people, be a people oriented person. You will build trust and get to know people you work for. - Show transparency, share information's through your different actions. - Ask for a mentoring process, rely on experienced people, listen to them and then adapt to your own style. - Seek for regular feedbacks, 360 reviews. Very key to hear from your peers how they perceive you. My first leadership position happened with the team I was used to be in, my biggest advice is simply not to change, stay the same and learn.

From my experience, it’s important not to expect perfection from day one. Be kind to yourself—mistakes will happen, and that’s how you’ll learn and grow. Don’t hesitate to ask questions; there are always nuances that aren’t immediately obvious. Take the time to understand the unique corporate culture as it plays a key role in your success. Most importantly, trust in yourself and your team. With perseverance and collaboration, success will follow.
