MANAGING YOUR FRIENDS SERIES

The Climate Lab
Level 1

FOR

Waiters stepping up &
Shift Leaders

How to get people to follow you, not fear or like you.

New managers tend to adopt one of two leadership styles when they first step up, in an attempt to navigate the relationship change they experiencing with their former peers. The ‘matey manager’ is hoping people will do what they say through a sense of loyalty and friendship. The “I’m your boss now” manager is looking to mask their relative insecurity by talking a lot and being overly dictatorial. 

We conduct a full autopsy on both these styles, and the climates they create, trying to extract the things we like, and need, from both, whilst ultimately looking at a third way  rooted in ambitious and relentless leadership that will inspire performance, not cuddle or enforce it.

The STEPHEN WATERS FOUNDATION

Our Founder – Stephen Waters – passed away suddenly in 2025 after nearly 20 years of running Watershed. He delivered development courses to over 4000 bar & restaurant managers.

 

Watershed was underpinned by his staunch belief in the power of coaching, and that the best leaders know how to skilfully use it.
