Managing Former Peers – Building trust in your new role
Stepping into leadership is exciting, but when you are promoted to manage people who were once your peers, the transition can feel awkward and overwhelming. Most managers are not formally trained for this critical moment, yet how you handle it sets the tone for your entire leadership journey. In this episode, Scott Anderle and Scott Albrecht unpack the real challenges new leaders face when managing former peers. They share practical tools, honest truths, and a clear playbook for building trust, setting expectations, and leading with confidence. If you have ever worried about losing friendships, being taken seriously, or proving that you are doing “real work” as a manager, this episode gives you the reset you need to lead effectively.
In this episode we talk about and answer these questions: • What makes managing former peers one of the hardest challenges in leadership • How to reset relationships without losing trust or respect • Why contextual friendships matter and how to expand inclusion on your team • How to respond when people assume you are not doing “real work” anymore • What practical steps you can take this week to earn credibility and results • How the Emerging Leaders program equips new managers to succeed
