I’m just starting as a manager with a new company and the people in my team have all been with the company for ages and seem set in their ways. I need to quickly build trust with this team and get them to rethink their long-standing work habits. How can I do that most effectively?

I got feedback from a manager in a recent performance review that I resist everthing too much. And there is truth to that, because whether it is feedback at work or cleaning my office, I’m prone to resisting change. What can I do to be more open to options and avoid holding back?

I recently received a promotion that sees me moving out of a day-to-day project management role, and into a leadership role. What is important for me to keep my eye on to be successful? What new skills do I need to develop?

I have been at home raising kids for the pat 10 years, while taking on a little bit of work in my field to keep my foot in the door. I am now ready to take on more, but I don’t know where to start. I feel afraid to even pick up the phone for fear that I will upset the balance a home, and come off like someone “out of the loop”. Where do I and what are the best things I can do to get back into a full-time job?

I was promoted a few months ago to run a division of my company, and I feel run of my feet. In my opinion, the people on my team aren’t showing enough initiative in taking on responsibilities. Then again, I may be my own worst enemy, for I like to be on top of eveything. How do I learn the fine art of delegation?

I’ve been unemployed for several months and finally have been offered a job. The problem is, it doesn’t really interest me. But I need work and an income. I still have my résumé out at several employers that have indicated interviews will be taking place over the next little while.
