In particular, what was noteworthy was this common thread underlining each of these conversations. Whether it was a middle-level manager or an executive from the C-suite, in each of these interactions I couldn’t help but note the sense of self-doubt these leaders expressed about their continued ability to lead.

Managing former peers can be okay if you have a strong relationship with them; they may even been rooting for you, or felt you were most deserving.
