The success that you have obtained through hard work and dedication, is it becoming the reason of your tension and stress? Uplift in your job gives satisfaction but some times it creates troubles. It may bring pride as well as other changes in your behavior. It also may bring changes among your colleagues. Along with these there is another responsibility of handling new duties and work load. So, you need special skill to manage all these circumstances. Let’s have a look how you can handle these state of affairs.

After having promotion there will be some changes in behavior of your subordinates.
But don’t show your pride and power after having new position. You should take care of them like before, such as inviting them in your home or visiting them and stretching your hand out when they are in problems. But about official duty don’t go for any special consideration or unlawful cooperation. Maintain this for your own work also. It will make some of them unhappy but gradually they will understand your professional approach. You have to keep patience for a period to adjust with all these.

Keep up an unbiased attitude. If you give special opportunity to some one it will create discontent among others and you will loose your popularity.

Get ready if something is not done in time what you will do.

Life is full of love and interesting events. Make most of it memorable and enjoyable. Be positive and step forward to grab every opportunity and ignore all obstacles.
