Has anyone else felt the energy shift when someone new joins the team? No big incidents, just weird tension. Sometimes you can’t explain it, but you feel it. How do you handle it when the vibe changes before the behaviour becomes obvious?

If you approach it from a welcoming standpoint, you will feel the positivity instead of a source of tension. Try saying hello and letting them know if there is anything you can help with feel free to ask. I'm sure you will get the same response from them. Establishing the connection and making it a great environment is in everyone's best interest.

Absolutely - I think some people just get more reserved and uptight about a new person. It’s very odd!

Very true, I unfortunately can’t say I’ve worked somewhere like that but would love to one day!

Sometimes, I usually treat it as a way to mentor someone as in train them and make sure the feel comfortable but other times insecurities set in. A woman in her mid twenties joined my friend group through a friend of a friend. Shes sweet and adorable but as the oldest I knew I would be pushed out and I sort of was. I'm invited to some things but she's moved into the center. Her energy was very different from everyone elses, not good or bad. We just happen to represent the opposite extremes of the group dynamic. And with the most magnetic friend moving away its not as diverse and inclusive as it was. Whether its work or social, changes can be hard. Someone could be left out if you don't strive to be inclusive.

It’s very common. And then the storming, forming, norming steps kick in
