First Week As A New Manager: 7 Things You Should Do!

I´m sharing 7 tips to help you get started as the new boss and make your first week run as smoothly as possible.

👇How can we help you:

✅Boost your leadership skills & deliver great results in only 4 minutes a week:

1. Introduced in a team-meeting and one-on-ones (learn about expertise and KRAs)
2. Sit with boss: Ask about expectations and how you will be evaluated. Ask about team members. Who else will be responsible for your success
3. Learn about team, organisation, hidden rules, how things work, interpersonal dynamics, shadow people to meetings
4. Be authentic about what you don’t know and request support from experts
5. Set boundaries to save yourself from burning out later: physical, emotional, mental

Hallo Herr Gerrop, ich bin einer Ihrer deutschen Zuschauer. Die deutschen Videos schaue ich mir so gut wie immer an. Doch, dass Sie es auf Englisch anbieteb, überwältigt mich sehr und war mir bisher nicht bekannt. Sehr gutes und sauberes Englisch. Riesen Respekt und großen Dank an Sie! Lg aus Dortmund

I'm sometimes a bit skeptical of these videos/ Books ect. But I think everything you've mentioned and spoken about is valid experience and a great way for prospective (and current) leaders to learn. I don't disagree with any of the points you've made.

Very good, thank you!

[ArturLaas]

Great advices! That's exactly my case and I need something like that to be more confident.

[preethakrishna]

To the point and interestingly conveyed. Please share more videos of how to set goals, kpis and sops and others

[mariannamayers]

Thanks for your videos, Bernd. I’ve recently started a new role with leadership responsibility so they’re really helpful.

[MaggieMagPie]

[Apollo-nole]

Keep the meeting light, informative, not for you to talk about your 90-day transformation vision!
1. Build trust - show that you are humble, willing to accept help and learn
2. Icebreaker - cheesy but useful to gather information, find the leader of the pack
3. Share - share your experience, where your ideas come from, your hobbies, let them see you as human, be in the spirit of learning
4. Ask questions - what should be left alone, what really needs to change here, what is the best/ worst thing about working here? Take notes, listen actively
5. Thank them - Thanks for hearing me out, thanks for having this chat
6. Closing note - What I intend to do is to have one-on-one talks with each and everyone of you in the coming weeks and I am hopeful we can get some insights as to how we operate, where we have issues or gaps, and what I can do to help you succeed. Do not say "my door is always open".

Really helpful points and very funny as well 😂🙏🏾

When I have my one on one, do I close my office door ? Or leave it open? I'm office is located in the depart I'm in charge of.

Toll, dass so auf Inklusion von Geschlechtern geachtet wird! Aber, im Englischen als Tipp: Statt always "his or her" und "Him or her" oder "she and he" sag einfach "they". Das macht mann zB, wenn das Gender der Person nicht bekannt oder egal ist.
Beispiel: "Ask your supervisor if they would sit down with you."
Klingt natürlicher und verkürzt es sprachlich :)

[kingofslotsmillion]

My meeting with my boss said there was a lack of production in my new department. And has asked me to read my new teams job discrimination to them. They've also decided to bring in 2 Temps for training. Incase I need to fire them. It's my first week. And do t Wana loose my new teams trust. When should I bring this to my teams attention
