My work have offered me a promotion to a be a supervisor in our department, and I start Monday. I’ve worked hard to position myself well for a promotion, taken on work with more ownership, asked for complex projects, became a mentor and always give advice about work to colleagues and outside
my team etc.
Now I’m faced with actually doing it my self doubt and anxiety has creeped in massively, I’ve never supervised a team before, I don’t know where to start, I know a couple of colleagues are upset because they wanted the promotion and now I’ve gone from being their friendly team mate to their supervisor which has made it awkward.
If I’m worrying so much all of a sudden, is this a bad move? Any tips and advice please much appreciated.
