When a leader faces a new role, helping them set realistic goals and expectations is crucial for their success. To assist in this transition:
- Encourage them to articulate their vision and align it with manageable milestones.
- Suggest they seek feedback from peers to set informed expectations.
- Recommend the establishment of a support system that includes mentoring or coaching.

When helping a leader navigate a role change, start by identifying strategies that have worked for them in the past. Encourage them to use those successful approaches as a foundation, but also adopt a mindset of reinvention. The goal isnât just to replicate whatâs already been done but to explore how they can develop new strategies or expand on existing ones to fit the unique demands of their new role. By blending past successes with a willingness to innovate, they can set realistic, forward-thinking goals that not only ensure smooth transitions but also spark growth and fresh opportunities.
