New job Trifecta

Management and Leadership

I am looking for any advice, podcast suggestions anything to help structure my new unit and team. [BLUF]

I am new into general management after spending many years as a project manager. In my attempt to make sure I can do the best job I can as quickly as I can I have been trawling through the manager-tools information. I have done the basic, signed up to Trinity Rollouts, purchased the licenses etc.

My challenges.

1. It is a new unit that is ill defined. I have four staff who although have position descriptions I need to come up with some work plans or team charter or something. I have not seen a post or anything on setting up a new unit.

2. I use to be a peer. We worked very closely together, we both applied for the managers job. He missed out, our relationship has changed, immediately.

3. It is a new job. I am new into general management. I have started O3's and weekly meetings.

I am a High-C.

Any advise greatly be greatly appreciated.

Hi there - you will find podcasts to help with all.  Just search on the site.  I know there is one for beating out a peer to become their manager. There are ones for defining job descriptions (part of doing the performance reviews if I recall). 
Sounds like you are off to a good start.  Good luck!!
