It happens to all leaders at some point… They become the boss. Sometimes leaders are prepared for their new role, other times they are not. The most important thing is that leaders understand their position, their level of experience, and take action to continuously improve themselves. Sometimes though, a little help is all that is needed to to make new leaders into great ones.
