After being airborne as a department leader, how to prevent yourself from being overhead?

Airborne is a common situation in enterprises now. Because the original leadership position is vacant, and the boss is unwilling to be promoted internally or the internal employees really don't have suitable leadership candidates, at this time we have to choose to recruit airborne leaders from outside the enterprise. In the case of airborne leaders, there is a relatively critical running-in period between the airborne leaders and the original subordinates, and this running-in period may determine whether the leaders can sit firmly in their seats.

For a large team, it is very likely that one or several people will play an important role in the team before the leader arrives. These people were expected to hit the leadership position, but because the boss chose airborne leadership, these employees with outstanding qualifications or abilities may challenge the new leadership. As an old employee, I have a deeper understanding of the company's personnel and operations. The advantages in business process and personnel communication give the old employees considerable advantages to show their work ability. For airborne leaders, unfamiliar with the company's business processes and personnel may appear weak in their work. On balance, some airborne leaders will be considered as empty shelves, and gradually form a situation in which subordinates unite to lead overhead.

How to prevent being overhead? In fact, many times, things that are not so horrible are overhead, and many airborne leaders are not as complicated as kung fu dramas if they want to integrate into the team.

First, strike while the iron is hot. For many people, being stronger than yourself will cause jealousy, but being much stronger will make people admire. Therefore, leaders also need to overwhelm their subordinates in their work ability. Otherwise, it is the story of programmers and product managers. Some subordinates want to challenge their leaders, mainly because they feel that leaders are not much stronger than themselves, so do you want to challenge them? However, if in the eyes of subordinates, leaders are far stronger than themselves, at this time, they are basically admired.

The second is to put the position right and integrate into the team. Some leaders, especially a few leaders with high academic qualifications and low emotional intelligence, will feel that they are more than their subordinates, so they are always equal. However, most people in the workplace are cooperative, even as leaders, they need to be integrated into the team. Therefore, it is best to integrate into the team as soon as possible after airborne.

Finally, we should cultivate a few "cronies". Some people in the workplace have limited working ability, but their strength is particularly outstanding. When you meet such people, you have to guard against them. Any leader needs several well-connected subordinates, which is very beneficial for them to understand the team and carry out their work.
