"I'd start building relationships right away, revealing my work style, performing with consistency right off the batt. I'd establish respectful boundaries while building relationships without sacrificing performance. I'd set those expectations with my coworkers, and deliver on them. I'd give my coworkers the information they need to know how to communicate with me and how to work with me. By introducing these aspects to my makeup, I'd eliminate any grey areas and establish clear guidelines for how to work with me. I'd ask tons of questions, especially about all the behind-the-scenes stuff that I can; why they do things the way they do, and all the big picture stuff, including asking how I can make an impact in my new role, by finding out who the most successful individuals are, and what defines their success. I'd define what success looks like.

So, I'd work on learning the ropes, gaining as much of a big-picture-scope as I can, while building relationships. I'd get to know everyone there. I'd work hard side by side with them, and keep my head down. I'd exhibit my positivity, ask for their insights and their tips and tricks to getting the work done as efficiently as I could. I'd actively listen and participate, and keep asking questions to absorb as much as I can. I'd put my all to earn my keep and build the trust of my coworkers to ensure I complimented my new team. Once I feel I've built some strong working relationships, I'd keep trying to identify kaizen opportunities and would innovate from there. I'm there to contribute and make the team stronger as a whole. That's my goal."
