[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat, op. Our entire team was interviewed for a newly created leadership position. I had to interview for it (everyone did), and I assumed one of three other people would get it given their seniority and skill set. Surprise---I got it. I couldn't decline, so I guess I will fake it till I make it.

Hoping someone has a tip on books or resources.

[b]I'm also curious how to navigate the fact that several well-liked people didn't get the job. Hoping I don't face a mutiny. [/b][u]

FWIW, I'm reaching out to peers at other orgs who have similar management positions to get advice.

Good luck, OP![/quote]

Who was the decisionmaker on the promotion? Why did they pick you? You should figure this out because it will matter to your ability to be successful. Worst case is that you were chosen because you will not threaten the position of someone higher up in the chain, whereas one of the three passed over would have. [/quote]

No, there isn't anyone to threaten. Reporting to ED.

I think I was selected because they don't think I need hand-holding. And because I produce.[/quote]
