In new roles, it’s tempting to prove yourself quickly with decisions and direction.
But often the most powerful move is to pause, listen, and let the team’s insights shape the path forward.
How have you balanced the pressure to act fast with the need to listen deeply?
What’s helped you earn trust in those first conversations?

In my experience, the tack of sitting back and watching and being quiet is always the better talk to take. Especially if there’s been a lot of turn at your new position. Many people call those boomerang managers because they fly and shake things up a lot often with no data andinto configurations that make absolutely no sense and then fly back out again. Don’t be one of those. It is much more powerful from a observation standpoint to watch and listen and then make some changes. Give it anywhere from 60 to 90 days.
