Becoming a leader is a major job change. That doesnt mean you should change who you are. Plenty of new leaders force themselves to undergo an instant transformation from "one of the gang" to commander in chief. Thats a mistake, warns Ascher. "Dont try to become some kind of presidential persona," he says. "People want you to be yourself. You have to lighten up. You have to get to know people on a personal level, make the job enjoyable. You shouldnt change who you are."
