Becoming the boss of former peers was probably the weirdest and challenging change in my leadership journey.

I faced this situation twice.

First, I failed miserably. I thought being the nice guy, keeping the same vibe, the same behavior, and expecting to cross the finish line would be enough. It wasn't. The time to make difficult decisions came... everything derailed. Lesson learned.

The second, slightly better. I had my "that's weird, huh?" moment. We had a story. We held our story, but with a different narrative. Weird as hell at first, but natural over time. Spent the next two years leading this team... amazing experience.

Thank you for reviving this memory.
