Be a Team Leader – Try to make a favorable and positive first impression. – If the team is used to a steady, structured leadership style, acknowledge it; if not, assume that the members are looking for a shake-up. – Demonstrate trust, promote unity, and be very confident.
Take on a new team
Learn about the formation, activities, and goals of the new group.
Immediately after receiving the team, arrange time to talk to each team member, one by one, about each person's work as well as the overall project, and their views on the team's activities... From there you will have a clear view of their individual personalities, motivations, and abilities.
Points to remember:
- Being part of a group will help you understand people better – and also get to know yourself better.
- Show that you appreciate the group's abilities to avoid any discontent.
- Show people that you want to listen to them.
- Show authority with trust from the start – otherwise you will be at a disadvantage.
Become a member of the group
You simply speak up about your goals and your desire to work together towards the team's goals.
Try to make an impression, but don't be too flashy. Observe the group. Only when you are familiar with the people and the work, then gradually demonstrate your abilities and initiative.
