As a manager, I think the first thing is to gain a thorough understanding of the organization, it's objectives, and your role in achieving those goals it hint hat context. Having done that, you then need to understand its structure, which allow you to communicate effectively and understand how and to whom you report to. It doesn't matter which level you are at.

An appreciation of this will now allow you to take charge, whether it's the head of the organization or it as the head of a department, you can now set goals and create an action plan for achieving those goals. 

So understand your organization, understand its strategic goals, understand what your role is in achieving those goals and then create and implement your strategies for meeting those goals.

Thanks for the invitation.

As a newly arrived manager, I would like to know  the organization such as its structure, its strategic goals &  plans and align myself in a way to add value to the company.

I will meet the team members of the department/s of my immediate concern and using interpersonal skills & domain knowledge I will try to develop the professional bonding with the people concerned.
