Like you're just being friend zoned and are you still, are you boys or you're not?

Is there this kind of...

How do you communicate?

How do you show them that there is that superiority?

At the same time, you do want some level of trust and friendship and camaraderie.

At the same time, there has to be a chain of command, right?

That's just what the business is.

Here's some thoughts, Taylor.

Number one, I want you to get very comfortable with the phrase, I'm telling you this because.

So start your sentence with, I'm telling you this because.

And here's where you can add a little bit of trust because these, I'm assuming these men and women, they might feel a little bit slighted, possibly, the fact that you got the position and they didn't.

And so there's going to be this aspect that they're looking to see, are you different?

Has it gone to your head?

And they're going to start to count that against you of like, oh, okay, Mr. Supervisor here just said that I need to do X, Y, and Z. And feeling like you've trying to, you know.

In the legal world, when a judge is making some big decisions, we'll say he's feeling his robes.

In other words, you're starting to kind of feel yourself out a little bit.

Here's what I would do.

encourage.

With that phrase, I'm telling you this because, you can insert trust by saying, I'm telling you this because I know I can trust you.

I'm telling you this because I know you appreciate transparency.
