Reset Each Relationship Directly
A promotion from within changes every working relationship at once, and the change lands cleanly only when you name it in person rather than letting each person guess. Meeting everyone you now manage one-on-one in the first weeks, saying directly that you are their manager, and hearing how they take it keeps the new relationship from setting by default. Skip the reset, and each person fills the silence with their own read of what the promotion means.

Measurable Behaviors
Behaviors are optimized to be directly observable for evidence-based skill tracking.
Agree out loud how you will work together now
Settles cadence, decision rights, and day-to-day access before the first conversation ends, so both leave with the same working terms.
Ask how they feel about the change and listen before reassuring
Asks how the person takes the change and lets them say it fully before responding, rather than smoothing past the reaction.
Guide another newly promoted leader through their own relationship resets
Walks a newly promoted colleague through running their own reset conversations instead of letting them avoid the step.
Meet every person you now manage one-on-one within the first weeks
Holds a private one-on-one with each new report in the first weeks, before the new relationship sets by default.
Name the role change directly in that first conversation
States plainly in the first conversation that the relationship has changed and they now report to you, rather than leaving it unspoken.

What a Clean Reset Looks Like
Every person you now manage has had a direct one-on-one where the change was named and their reaction heard, not a relationship left to drift. Each conversation closes on agreed working terms, and you can guide another newly promoted leader through the same resets.
