Description
You just joined a new team? You just joined a team as their new lead? You’ve just been promoted to team lead? Do you have a new team member?
Let me guess, you probably can’t wait to prove yourself? – And that’s exactly the trap!
Forget everything and change your job title to “professional learner” instead of "lead developer/team lead/or whatever your contract says”. I’ll share what I’ve learned throughout my career, from on-boarding many new team members to my own on-boarding experiences.
Let’s explore together how to apply a beginner's mindset to set you up for success. How to ask questions and when to ask them. I’ll share techniques on how to make progress visible for you and your team. That way you ensure you stay motivated and avoid getting stressed out. You will add value while learning all the things. We will discuss how you can use the fact of being new as an asset to challenge the status quo. We will also cover what typical traps to avoid.
What's more, these techniques are not limited to on-boarding. By applying these techniques constantly in your professional life, you will see the benefits throughout your career. As a leader, you can use those techniques to help new hires succeed.
What are the main takeaways for the audience?
- Understand the bigger picture of how to approach a new job/ role and strategies to be successful at it.
- Leaders go first - You set the example for the rest of the team. By being vulnerable you show that you don't know everything and that this is ok.
- Learn how you as a leader can provide a safe environment for team members and new hires. Make them successful and retain great talent.
