Your new job

Welcome to the new JobSo you are just startingyour new job?Congratulations!In case you are lookingfor some free advise – www.brijse.com

Let me suggest that you could start byplaying the doctor.A new job has its challenges and itsopportunities. They have to be identifiedand the overall situation understood,before you can act and lead your team.The doctor role, helps you to diagnose thesituation.

You can meet informal groups (and in formal groups) You can have one on ones

The new job can get hectic, so it would be nicer if there were 2 of you ..

One of you would play the doctor. Diagnosing the situation.Figuring out what needs to be done. The other one would be – The eager student! .. For there is much to learn.

there is much to learn!

Traditionally every new leader gets a 100 day honeymoon period.This is the time, when you can ask stupid questions,and change your mind oftenand generally say ‘no!’ (without people taking too much offence). Most doors are also open, to welcome you in!

Use the first half ofthis time, to learnand diagnose .. 1 2 Then decide where you want your team to arrive! 100 days

Deciding the destination? Have I been rushing, with no time to reflect or strategize? Have I included my immediate team and my boss, in where I want us to go? Am I caught inanalysis-paralysis? Am I trying to please Am I in love with someone or trying tobeing the doctor or be popular?the eager student?

Then use the balancetime in action! Your team needs to know, you mean business, about where the team needs to arrive!

Your team also needs to know that youmean them well and you are going to bethere for them, when they need help. www.brijse.com

That is why you need to be able to play Mom. The role of a Mom, that is! www.brijse.com

Without falling into the stereotype –There is a mom and there is a dad in each of us.You need to allow both to emerge from within you. www.brijse.com

You need to play Dad to your team, because you will be leadingthem in the right direction. It is your job to now show this to themwhere they need to go and what constitutes success. Follow him! Show them, that you are serious about this intent. Do this often. One round of communications is completely insufficient.

both Mom and Dad need to be done, in a deliberate fashion ..Even though you will be hugely rushed for time,with many fires burning brightly around you ..If you do your Mom bit and Dad bits right – the fires will take care of themselves.

That is one way, to settle in, into your new job!In 100 days -First play Doctor & EagerStudentThen decide where yourteam needs to arrive ..Then take them there,by playing, Mom & Dad! www.brijse.com
