Cannot Flirt

Faking confidence is an excellent suggestion. I remember when I was first promoted into management, having to stand among the people I used to be working shoulder to shoulder with, I was shaking in my boots, (Very afraid I would do something stupid.) I straightened my back and said the things expected of me, and when issues came up I dealt with them. (The first time, I did ask my manager to stand in earshot to hear the conversation just in case I got into a bind. He later complemented me on how I handled the issue.) I had zero confidence I could deal with the person involved, a known troublemaker and very connected with the union so my wording had to be right. The man asked to be transferred from my work team. Portraying confidence when one doesn't feel it is hard, but maybe having a friend nearby can give that extra piece of strength that seems to slip away in such situations.
