I am hoping some people may have some experience of this and can give me their experiences. I have the opportunity to apply for a promotion at my place of work. If I were to apply I would be interviewed by my current manager and if I were successful I would be managing my current colleagues. Has anyone any experience of being interviewed by their manager and have any tips and how did they manage changing from a colleague to a manager. Also with this promotion there would be the need to re-educate senior managers so how do you reinvigorate yourself when you have been fighting to change a culture at a lower level for a couple of years. Thank you for your thoughts in advance

attend the interview for the experience if nothing else This situation can be the hardest thing or easiest thing - it depends on any history there is and the culture plus your own attitude/style. However a 'new brush' is the usual way people recruite; so I ask: Are you the only contender? best of luck
