Leading in a new office

What's the difference between a newbie and a leader newbie?

A lot of people always fell nervous when entering a new environment.
No matter how experienced, prepared a person is.
There is a mixed feeling of worry, excited, optimism...

Because we might never know...
What lies behind that door of our new office.

For a newbie, it would take only some time in the morning to adapt
Because someone will come and take your fear away ;p
I mean someone will come and teach you how things are done
And you can at first just follow orders
Everyone will welcome you and emphaty and bla bla bla

Now,
What will happen if you are their new boss?
You are expected to know better than they are..
But you're still all new about the line of business
Some people will treat you nicely because you're the new boss
But in the back, who knows..

The office politics will exploit the new wave
Then start the new game...
Treat them nicely but not too nice.
Treat them with respect.
And the most important thing is never and never make allies with one group of the employee
Keep yourself in a neutral position

Because the main difference between a newbie with a leader newbie is
A newbie gets someone teaching them how things are done
while a leader newbie alias the new boss...
had to learn by themselves how things are done and if they can, make them better.
And managed a lot of people who thinks they know better than you

That is not an easy tasks
But you can't expect to do easier stuuf in the higher position, right?
No matter how tough it may seem, if you are in that position, that means the big boss see something in you that's good enough

So keep fighting for that ...

Be Yourself

Be Yourself

Every leader in every organization have their own unique characteristic.
We may take one or more leader and make them our role models in leadership.

But still, we have to form our own leadership characteristic.
What style of leadership that suits you the most?

Watch the persons which you choose to be role models
Learn about their strength and weaknesses
Watch the situation around you
Then choose the qualities that suits you and your condition

And after that, practice and improve along the way
Never expect to have instant results
Leadership is a process, you have to earn it and maintain it along the way

Don't forget one thing, enjoy the process
And believe that you can do it!

Sam Walton
