In this brief segment, Tom Krieglstein outlines an unwritten rule for leadership succession: outgoing leaders should actively prepare their teams for the incoming leader’s distinct leadership style. He emphasizes that each leader brings a unique approach, and without deliberate preparation—such as discussing the new leader’s methods—teams may experience unexpected shocks. By setting expectations early, the transition can be smoother and more effective.

The first unwritten rule related to leadership transition is that before you go, we want to prepare the team for the new leadership style. Just because you had a leadership style doesn't mean that other person can have the same style. Every leader has a unique style. So you want to prepare your team for the change by discussing the new leader's approach to prevent any major shocks and ensure there's a smooth transition.
