I’m joining Deloitte as a SM next week. What are some of the benefits and challenges of entering D-Gang as a SM that I should know about?

You shouldn’t call it D gang

likefunnysmart

I believe they prefer D Posse

You should instantly establish yourself as a subject matter expert and early on in meetings tell people "We did it like this at company X and it had a much better impact." This way they'll know you are a force to be reckoned with bringing invaluable input from the outside in. Also if anyone looks you in the eye during lunch make sure to quote Nietzsche "Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.". Bringing that culture capital into the room is vital for your team members and now subordinates to respect you. Best of luck with dominating the D-Gang. You'll kill it.
