Sometimes when new leaders are getting started in their role, they feel pressure to make changes, get quick results, and prove their worth. The most successful new leaders, however, know to focus instead on building trust and relationships with the individuals they work with and lead. As a new leader emphasize:
- Learning the organization’s pace and norms
- Focusing on identifying short term priorities, and making note of focus areas for the next year and the following year
- Empathy and Compassion. Change often makes people uncomfortable, avoid making sudden changes especially during your first 100 days
