Start scheduling some one-to-ones, show you’re serious and willing to listen.

👆 Exactly. You can get all the clues there.

By building trust and helping make your peers’ lives easy, you’re going to be perceived as the leader they want to support. And you need allies to be an effective (and fulfilled) leader.

I highly recommend the book The First 90 Days by Michael Watkins. One of the key take aways is to hold off from making any changes until you’ve assessed everything.

Also, relationships are everything so start building them. Take people to lunch or coffee to get to know them beyond work roles and responsibilities.

Good luck!

I love this book it’s great advice. I agree with others on the feed- meet as many people as you can, listen and learn. Make a list of low hanging fruit you can change right away.

Another book I love and deals with building teams, trust, and results - Radical Candor. Lots of good advice in there (for new managers to super senior leaders)

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.
