What strategies have worked or not worked for you to get integrated into a new team?
Being new to a team comes with all kinds of anxieties and stressors. Coach M J Tolan suggested we start with respect and intentional listening to understand who the players are and what that team is doing.
Todd Karges added that relying on the existing onboarding structure could be risky – sometimes it’s not very good. Make sure you go in being curious about the people and how you and your work fits within the existing context.
Atif Agha agreed that respect is important and that having an open mind, recognizing that you don’t know anything about how an existing team works and you can’t come in and just start upending things and creating change on day one. You have to learn and understand first.
That is a mistake I’ve made – showing up new to an existing team and trying to start “fixing” things right off before I really know what’s going on and why things are done the way they are.
What is the best advice you have for integrating yourself into a new team? What have you done that didn’t work?
