Résumé :
Congratulations and welcome to the exciting and challenging role of a manager! I hate to break the bad news, but here are two inevitable issues you are about to face in your new role: Your team doesn't trust you. You are dealing with a low-trust organization. The first issue is given. Even if you've worked as a team member with your colleagues from Day One, once you get promoted, the situation resets itself. You are now the boss, and, as you are well aware, there's something universal about employees' animosity toward an authority figure. Former friends that used to break bread with you turn into foes overnight. Consequently, such a level of distrust, personal resentment, and defiance immediately affects the team's performance. It's a behavioral pattern of a group you simply cannot avoid. However, the severity of the second issue is something you need to analyze in the shortest time possible, especially if you are a newcomer and still not familiar with the routines and habits of your organization, your team, and the individuals within. The problem exists...
