Laugh it up, fuzzball.
Imagine you're flying like Han Solo, ace of the galaxy, hitting every target and making it look easy in 12 parsecs.
Then pew pew pew!
You're stepping into General Leia Organa's boots, tasked with leading a whole team to victory.
That's the epic journey a friend of mine just started -- from high performing sales champ to first-time team leader.
She's going from solo missions to leading the Rebel Alliance... well almost... it's a sales team.
Here's how things change:
As Han Solo, you're all about:
🔫 Nailing those personal goals & enjoying the glory
🔫 Having the controls in your hands, piloting through challenges alone
🔫 Being the name everyone cheers for after a victory
As General Organa, it shifts to:
⭐ Boosting your team, helping them hit their targets
⭐ Strategy & teamwork, making sure everyone's flying in formation
⭐ Sharing the wins, because it's the team's name in lights now, not just yours
🌌 Leadership Tips for the New Generals
1. Tune in to Your Crew
Just like Leia listens to her team's ideas, make sure you're all ears. Your team's insights can lead to the next big win.
2. Embrace the New Role
No general knew everything from day one. Showing you're learning too can really rally the troops.
3. Celebrate as a Squad
Set those goals together, and when you hit them, celebrate as a team. It's like earning those medals at the end of a successful mission.
🌟 Share your tales of going from flying solo to leading the charge.
What was the biggest hurdle for you in your first year as a people leader?
