So it’s happened, you’ve got the promotion you were looking for or perhaps the company restructured and your role has changed and you’ve taken on a leadership position or moved to a different level of leadership, and somewhere in the blur of new responsibilities, different expectations, and unfamiliar territory, things feel very different.

The ‘who you are at work’ has changed and the style and strategies you may have always relied on, might now feel clunky and you start to doubt yourself, wonder if you’re really ready for this role.

Here's a 3 stage framework to help you navigate this shift.

Imagine the scene.

A member of your team put themselves forward for an internal role.

And now you know the answer is no.

How you handle the next few hours, and the next few weeks, will say something significant about who you are as a leader.

When you show up for someone’s disappointment with honesty and care, you’re not just managing a situation. You’re making a statement about what kind of team this is and about what kind of leader you are.

Do you find yourself working long hours, even when no one has explicitly asked you to? Struggling to find time for yourself? Feeling like a lot is expected of you… because it usually is?

If so, you’re not alone.

Life is busy. Work is busy. And for many capable, conscientious people, it’s frighteningly easy to slip into a rhythm where work slowly expands to fill every available space. The never-ending to-do list. Meetings that could (and should) have been an email. Work emergencies. Family emergencies. Other people’s priorities quietly becoming your own.

Managing boundaries at work is challenging, but it’s also essential if we want any kind of work/life harmony and if we want our work to remain meaningful rather than all-consuming.
