From peer to manager. Congratulations if you got the chance to be a manager for a group where you have been a peer before. It's often difficult for team members to understand that now you are the manager, though, that you have been yesterday still just a teammate. I highly recommend you to engage with every one of your team members and go into one on one conversation. Have conversations about how they feel that you are the chosen person to be the manager of this team.
It helps you to understand of where they are, and sometimes there is maybe a little bit of tension. But as more as you focus on the other person, help them to grow, develop them over time, as more they will see you naturally being the right person, even if they wanted to be in your position. Be open and engage with them on an ongoing base, and try to find out how you can help them.
