- What challenges are facing the organization? - What resources could we leverage more effectively? - How could we improve the way the team works together? - What types of projects have you worked on? Which one was your favorite? Least favorite? Why? - Over the next year, what skills, or experiences would you like to develop? - How would you describe your working style? - hat expectations do you have of me and my role? How can I help you be successful over the next year?
We all know the old adage “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression,” but how many of us really take this advice to heart, especially when starting a new job. The first90 days are critical to establishing your credibility in a new organization, but the stakes are even higher when you are the new boss.
Not only do you have to learn your way around a new company and adjust to a new role, but you also have to gain the respect of your new team. No small task. In my experience, you cannot underestimate the impact these early impressions can have on your career, your ability to lead your team, and make an long-term impact. Bottom line is people form judgments fast – your only defense is a good offense. So, the question becomes…do you have a game plan for making a great first impression?
There are both possibilities, either the boss will show extra / over confidence or less / lack confidence.
The first impression is a lasting impression
