In the first few days and weeks in a new
role, keep your opinions to yourself! Focus on learning your job. Be the quiet
observer. Avoid commenting on anything at this time, unless asked.
Remember: First impressions do count. I
fired one person because he was disrespectful to his wife – on the phone in
front of the whole office.

Reality check: It will probably take you one
year to truly learn your job.
Once you know your job, you should receive
ample chances to voice an opinion. Especially if you can streamline your
processes.
Hopefully, you’re in a company where
opinions are sought after!
Let us know:
Why
do first impressions count to you?
What is
something you learned about someone based on your first impression of them? Were you right? Wrong?
