Company is mid-size. Not a startup. Decently established.
Whether it’s socially, politically, or from a business knowledge standpoint - Any advice on things to do or things to avoid?
Thanks
1.take notes. Personal CRM of contact, specifics like kids, key dates and topic
2.say minimum but say something interesting about yourself.
3. Make mtg w C level to get a feel of where they want to go. Then make mtgs w bottom level to hear where they think they are going without disclosuring your findings.
4. Track personality types.
5. Listen mostly talk minimally.
Gosh, so many things I could dump on this topic as I've burned more bridges then created bc I lacked to do the above.
Ultimately, it's the old adage of it's who you know and not what or how much you know.
Oh one last thing: practice alot of humility.
Don't: date your subordinate.
