Overview
Whether as an employee or a consultant, there are are few things as daunting and stressful as walking into an organization on the first day. It is a journey into the unknown, with unfamiliar challenges, mysteries and perils that need to be navigated.
Making sense of an organization you are not familiar with is challenging. Being successful in a new role requires getting a lay of the land quickly. That goes way past where to get coffee.
Successfully navigating a new organization requires appreciating the culture, the context and the environment. This includes not just learning the formally defined structure, practices and policies but also the informal ones.
Understanding how things work involves getting a rapid appreciation for the real dynamics of the organization. The power structures, cultural influences, emergent expectations and interpersonal dynamics are fundamental. Ways of learning and getting comfortable with those forces require thought, diligence, attentiveness and care.
This webinar dives deep into how to navigate the waters of a new organization and get a real read on how things work, how people relate and how to get things done.
If you are new to an organization—or expect that you will be at some point in the future—this is a webinar that you won’t want to miss.
