(Beeld: Pixabay) Summary The person with whom you have laughed before, while discussing office politics, can now have a management position on you. With India Inc focusing on young talent, it is very likely that your colleague then after this year or (Ahem) your junior team member can become your boss. It is a complicated situation and an uncomfortable comparison. The colleague you spent many hours on office politics when you two were in your cups now became the boss. The changes in the hierarchy are unpredictable, but the market My Worth Rulebook can help you navigate this new comparison. The awkwardness There are those who do not want to become leaders and those who want to be in the race and win it fairly and squarely. The participants have a good comparison if they are equal, but if one among them gets a senior post, it hurts. The color of envy, even if the best player wins of course. If you are the one left out then give you time. It is not easy to arrive after office after the congratulatory messages and celebrations are killed. You may be the disregarded party, but it is professional to go on with your work, attend meetings as you would, even if the rejeens in the names did not happen. Don’t look for a snarky remark or a hidden meaning if the new senior directs a Curt message to you. They can find the new dynamics just as uncomfortable, and an outburst is not a sign of power play. The inner circle There are seniors who start choosing the members of the inner circle within days of getting a new post. The new boss knows the benefits of having you in his/her team, and if you do not show a knee-press response from resistance, you can be added to the inner circle. And that coterie is powerful. In each business, there are examples of those who left in a huff, making it very clear to the new boss, and to their dismay, in a few years the same senior has drawn them into the new firm like an ominous shadow.

Employers can bet on you in a sluggish job market procedural justice to distributing Justice Sourav Mukherji, who teaches organizational behavior and human resource management to the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, pointed out how employees respond when they know how the procedure was performed. “Employees love more when they know that there was procedural justice where they may have lost, but they know that the process was transparent. However, if they win, but know that the process was unfair, the success of short -lived is short -lived.” Companies must therefore ensure that the assessment process is transparent for one to have faith, even if the result was not favorable. Age no measure for a boss post, we must realize that there is a great possibility that the junior in your office will skip a few levels, break the hierarchical form, adopt and adapt to digital innovations and become your senior. The inevitability becomes easier to handle, and it prepares you for the next steps, because none of these changes then come as a shock. Mukherji highlighted how the hierarchy works in the Indian concept, where one is not yet accustomed to the skipping levels, but it is a common practice in many Western countries. For all of us, accepting the inevitability will help us build our own profile rather than watch over our shoulders. To the new boss: Congratulations, but take it slowly, the new senior, if it is inexperienced or surprised by his/her height, has a point to prove. They will want to bring in their own leadership style, which can lead to exits. It is extremely important to realize that those who depart feel through your height, but it does not make it unprofessional. So, to deal with these exits sensitively, and not to be part of any gossip about it, go a lot. In the first few months of your new role, your peers will measure your behavior more than your performance and make your point assertive, but not aggressive and not bring in comprehensive changes, it can help facilitate any stuffed feathers. It is lonely at the top, and a clutch of familiar and reliable faces help. For those walked by the side, much of the new leader can learn as the bruised ego time to heal.
