- Approach feedback with curiosity and a readiness to implement changes.
Support the New Leader:
- Whether the new leader is an external or internal hire, offer your help to make their transition smooth.
- Build a positive relationship by being a resource and showing your value to the new leader.
Build Relationships and Continue to Grow:
- Use this time to deepen your relationships within the organization.
- Consider asking the new leader about their experiences and strategies, turning this into a learning opportunity for yourself.
Maintain a Positive Attitude:
- Even if disappointed, focus on helping the team and the new leader succeed.
- This attitude not only helps the team but also positions you as a strong candidate for future leadership opportunities.
Actionable Tips:
- Assess Your Goals: Take time to reflect on whether you genuinely want to be in a leadership role or if you’re driven by external factors like title or pay.
- Ask for Feedback: When you're ready, ask for specific feedback on why you weren’t selected for the role and how you can improve.
- Offer Support: Be proactive in supporting the new leader, whether they were hired internally or externally.
