16. Danger from within: Internal title aspirant

Career change / Onboarding
Applicants from within the company who have lost out to an external party should be given special consideration. Outwardly friendly and secretly looking for the opportunity. Often this internal title aspirant is directly connected and has many informal connections within the company and with external partners. First, you have to unmask this title aspirant. This is where the get-to-know-you interviews within the company help. As with the predecessor, socking and onboarding help. The aspirant's withdrawal must be prevented. If necessary, you can appoint him as a deputy or "praise him away" inside or outside the company. One must take away from the "internal loser" all hopes in this direction: "If the new boss fails, one comes back if necessary on me" right at the beginning. In the meantime, you can also switch from group jour fixes to individual jour fixes, but then the cohesion of the direct reports against the new supervisor quickly crumbles.
