A CEO describes 5 critical mistakes employees make when starting a new job and how to avoid them
When you begin a new role, you're full of optimism. You're starting something brand new, with a fresh set of eyes, and you're eager to learn. You see possibilities ahead. You're a blank slate. And those are all wonderful things.
Blaming your predecessors for an issue often becomes an excuse not to address it. This allows the issue to fester and causes even more dysfunction. Once you've been in a role for a few months, any problems from before you started become yours. Even if you didn't make the choices that led you there, shifting the blame prevents you from getting back on track.
Bringing a fresh perspective to a new role is great, but you have to be careful about how you use it. Even if you see problems that seem obvious, take time to understand the underlying dynamics and relationships before reacting. This will not only give you useful context for solving them, but it will also help you avoid rubbing people the wrong way.
Many times, the answers are already there, and they have just gone unheard so far. Your job is not to have an instant solution. Your job is to understand the issues and enable those around you to help you solve them.There's a deep history within every team, every product, and every company. It is very easy to judge from the outside without understanding that. This can lead to misunderstandings and resentment, and can create more problems further down the line.
If you don't have adequate context, you may be ruffling feathers without even realizing it. Spend time getting to know the culture, norms, and expectations when you start a new role, and you'll avoid future problems.Oftentimes when we take on a new role, our outside perspective makes us willing to question why things are the way they are. While this can be a good thing, sometimes we're just seeing the symptoms, not the factors contributing to them.
