AskABoss: “The measure of your success as a manager can’t be whether everyone likes you. You need to measure your success by whether you and your team are meeting your work goals”
I’m a fairly new manager, promoted over a peer who was upset that she was not chosen for the job. This person seems to have a total lack of respect for my role. I’ve had to grin and bear it, and in an effort to earn her respect, I have gone out of my way to advocate for her and support her in her projects. I now realize this was a misguided tactic, and she simply does not like me.
The rest of my staff are a joy to work with. This person creates tension, blows hot and cold, has zero self-awareness, and acts as if she’s the smartest person in every room. So why do I feel so awful? Do you have suggestions to help me get over this? You’ve got to decide if you can be okay with that. If you’re going to stay in a manager role, you have to be okay with it because if you aren’t, you’ll be avoiding key parts of the job, like giving difficult feedback or making tough decisions.
