Most animals have established behaviors for sounding out new members to a group. Even we humans have our rituals. But when the new members are leaders of the pack, the level of tension rises.
Some new bosses are a welcome change after incompetent leadership.
Others raise stress levels, threaten people's security or autonomy, and seem to create change simply because they can.

Be having in ways that say you're marking out space of your own.
