I have five directs with more to be added in the next 12 months.  One of my directs is being promoted in title, pay and responsibility (and still reporting to me).   She will now have two of my directs (one PT, one FT) reporting to her. 

Are there any casts or posts describing the protocol for explaining to the PT and FT directs that they will now be reporting to someone who was previously a peer to them?  My searches of the site have not yielded any applicable results on this topic.

Thanks,

Mike

 There is not a podcast specifically on that topic.  But there are a couple that are relevant:
