????他補充說：“盡可能與下屬進行面對面的交流，而不是通過短信或電子郵件。千禧一代出生在科技時代，因此他們也更加依賴科技。但對于你目前的情況，面對面的交流更加有效。不妨這樣說：‘嘿，我們一起去吃午飯吧?！銓⑿湃魏蜏贤ㄋ冻龅呐υ蕉?，團隊就會越容易接受你作為他們的領導者?！?/p>

????不斷提醒自己，提拔你的上司很明顯相信你能做好這份工作，否則他們肯定會另尋他人，這種自我暗示或許也能對你有所幫助。但即便如此，卡希建議：“不必猶豫，把自己的想法和問題告訴導師，或者要求人力資源部提供一些正式的培訓?！彼f：“這兩種方式種的任何一種都可以幫助把天生的才能轉變成管理技能?！弊Ｄ愫眠\。

????Millennials as a group tend to be skilled at collaborating, he says, so use that to your advantage: "You don't want to be too collaborative" — it has to be clear that you are The Decider, as George W. Bush famously said — "but taking into account more experienced people's perspective can make you a much better manager." Not incidentally, it may also help mollify your detractors.

????Third, Karsh says, even with people you already know (or think you know) well, put some extra effort into relationship-building. "Sit down with each of your direct reports one by one, and talk about their jobs — not the details of specific projects, but how they see their future, what they like and don't like about what they do, and how you could make their work go more smoothly or be more rewarding," Karsh says. "Everyone is motivated by different things, some of which you may never have thought of. You might be surprised by what you hear.

????"Whenever possible, talk with people in person, not via text or email. Millennials have been raised with technology, so they tend to rely on it, but face-to-face conversations work much better in your situation," he adds. "It also doesn't hurt to say, 'Hey, let's grab lunch' once in a while. The more you work on creating trust and communication, the more readily your team will accept you as their leader."

????It might help to keep reminding yourself that the higher-ups who promoted you evidently believe you can do this job, or they'd have picked someone else. Even so, "don't hesitate to bring up ideas and issues with a mentor, or ask human resources for some formal training," Karsh suggests. Either or both are, he says, "really helpful for turning raw talent into management skills." Good luck.
