How to join a new team?

How fast you will be able to join a new team three factors: your superiors, your colleagues and yourself. Under the command is not necessarilydirector, rather it will be the person responsible for working with the staff. Figuratively speaking, in good organizations, employees are not thrown into the water, saying: "Swim out by yourself," the first time they are told, corrected. Sometimes a newcomer is attached to the "curator" of the old-timers, who helps to join the new team.

If at your new place of work you pay enough attention to the adaptation of the staff - you are lucky. If you think that you have been forgotten, do not be afraid to remind yourself. Ask, be interested - maybe thispart of the training, and in fact you are waiting for the manifestation of the initiative. But it's also not too intrusive, it can be annoying. Well, if a new team headed by your boss ignores you, think: do you need such a job?

The second factor is the new collective itself. There are teams in which beginners are accepted withopen arms and help to adapt faster. There are collectives inert, in which beginners simply do not notice: there is - and well, no - well, all right. There are collectives in which beginners undergo a kind of "combat baptism" before they are accepted into the collective and recognized as "their own." Finally, there are collectives who react very painfully to "fresh blood", hardly accept beginners and even try to survive them.

By the way, sometimes it is difficult to determine to which type your new group belongs. External indifference may turn out to be temporary: you will be looked at, will be opened and will show cordiality. A meeting with open arms can be a "deceptive maneuver", which lulls vigilance. Finally, it can be difficult to distinguish "combat baptism" from a real attempt to survive a newcomer from the team. Therefore, for a while, it is worth to look at colleagues and behave carefully, and only then to build a line of behavior depending on which particular team you have got.

Finally, very much depends on you: whatever the bosses and the new collective,Your behavior can smooth the negative side. However, this also works in the opposite direction: if you misbehave yourself even in a very good team, you may have problems. Therefore, it is very important to behave correctly in a new job.

And it is necessary to prove yourself well on the first working day. But then you should not relax. At first, your best friends are tactful and considerate. Be polite to everyone, do not try hardto be detached from the collective, but do not stuff yourself into friends. And observe, analyze and draw conclusions. Try to understand what your new collective represents, what atmosphere it is in, what style of communication is accepted, whether there are informal leaders, etc.

Be positive and friendly, notpanic ahead of time. Even if it seems to you that the new team is cold with respect to you, this feeling may pass with time. Do not go into a defensive defense, but do not relax excessively. Try to treat everyone the same way: early start dating and adhere to a group, while you still do not know everyone well enough.

Finally, work. Still, the new collective is a new collective, but Your first priority is to learn to carry out your duties, and not engage in socialization. If you do not approach as an employee, you will not be saved by good relations with the team. And vice versa - diligence and zeal can help to put your colleagues to you, even if they were at first cautious about you. But you do not need to show excessive zeal, you might think that you want to curry favor with your superiors. Adequately perceive criticism and do not be afraid to ask - it's better to ask again once than to kill the task.

And remember the most important rule: in a strange monastery with their charter do not go. The approach "and on the old job was different" does not work: you are not on an old job. The first time you need to play by the accepted rule, and already when you become "your own", you may be able to change them.
