The future successs of a new leader depends on how he can manage the first three months in his role. If you can take the role and quickly get used to it, it will open you the door to early progress in an even greater role and interesting career. First month, however, is the most critical. Let us summarize the most important things to manage in the first 30 days of a leadership role.
1. Come with a clear vision
Even if you build on your ancestor's vision, you must be able to explain how your own vision distinguishes you from the ancestor. What do you want your people to remember and be able to do when you leave?
2. Believe in yourself
Even an experienced professional feels insecure during the first 30 days in a new position. It is therefore necessary not to panic and believe in your abilities. Do not let fear paralyze you.
3. Be patient and tenacious
Do not try to enforce changes immediately. Be realistic in the fact that people naturally reject changes. First you must learn about your team and give it room to change.
4. Learn quickly
Try to break into your new role as quickly as possible. Prepare your family for the fact that in the first 30 days you have to devote all your time and energy to learning.
5. Do not worry about mistakes
No one can be unmistakable in a new role. In the first 30 days, therefore, do not worry about mistakes. On the contrary, take mistakes as a rich source of advice and experience for your next job.
