It is particularly exciting when the team is very familiar with career topics because they deal with them every day in their jobs. For example, in a management consultancy or . . . a newspaper department that deals with everything to do with careers. So when everyone knows exactly what makes a good boss and how to recognize a weak manager. What the typical mistakes are when leading a conference or delegating tasks. How to give good feedback and which team building ideas are nonsense. Am I not then under special observation, can I not make a lot of mistakes?
Practice shows that the opposite is the case, at least if you have the right team. Career professionals also know how to make the start as easy as possible for a new manager. How to catch the new boss in the conference with a “May I perhaps make another suggestion . . . ?” when she is about to make a hasty decision that is . . . suboptimal from the point of view of her colleagues. How to explain to her in a constructive way what you need from her and how you envisage the collaboration. And how to work together productively as a team, treat each other well and pull together. With that in mind: cheers to the career professionals.
