Celio: How to Manage Your Relationship with Your Manager?

In this new episode of *Pieds dans le Plat*, Claudio Vandi welcomes Clément Meurant, Head of Men’s Apparel at Célio, who has just been promoted to a managerial position above his former colleagues. It’s a transition that’s as rapid as it is delicate: taking charge of a team you were still part of just yesterday, redefining your role, all while maintaining the team’s dynamic.

How can you establish your authority without causing frustration? How can you build a new team without bogging down all the processes? And how can you strike the right balance between hands-on involvement and strategic oversight?
With great transparency, Clément shares his first-hand insights from his first few weeks in this new role.

On the program:

  • How to become the manager of your former colleagues without undermining their trust
  • Why clearly defined roles are key to avoiding confusion and delays
  • The shift from “doing” to “having done”: a real change in approach
  • How to reinvent your relationship with your manager (and better “manage your manager”)
  • Concrete indicators for determining whether a new organization is working… or not

A helpful episode for all managers facing a challenging transition into a new role or a team transformation.

Enjoy!
