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)

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
