7 "Sins" New Child in the Office


Entering the new office was scary and confusion often arises. Thus, no new little boy who tried to "wrench remove yourself" in the eyes of his new colleagues. That is one of the seven common mistakes made by new children. Any other mistakes?

1. Ignoring culture
"Our company asked 250 advertising and marketing executives practitioners on what the biggest tantanan when starting a new job. Thirty four of 10 respondents replied, trying to estimate the heaviest perusahaanlah culture," explained Donna Farrugia, executive director of CreativeGroup.com. How much you need to socialize? Are my colleagues familiarize culture using the telephone to communicate, or emails or face to face? Using work shoes or loafers? Many aspects of the corporate culture that was not too subtle and easily overlooked. So you can better blend in, try to observe. Come 30 minutes early and leave a little more from time to notice how the behavior of people there, when they get a coffee, where they had lunch, how they end the day.

2. Arrogant
There are times, when someone is hired or by the company may be invited to join (aka hijacked from another company), a tendency that can happen is this new girl feel jumawa or big headed. No wonder when this happened, he would choose to make people work in accordance with his thinking, feeling caranyalah the most correct. Avoid acting like this. Take the time to understand the workings of the new place. Listen and learn the system running.

3. Hide
Contrary to those who jumawa, are people who are cowards. Lazy people who tend to busy myself with the work itself and look like a shut down. Try to build a relationship from day one. Take time to build a network with your colleagues. Way, can by building informal communication or learning anything done by others and learn how it affects you. It is good to try to learn the culture of the company.

4. Do not understand expectations
When you do not know what is expected of you, it will be difficult to determine which roads can be traveled. Meet your manager to discuss the responsibilities of your position and how success should be judged. What are the priorities? How do I provide project updates? Also how your performance assessed?

5. Refusing to admit mistakes
Everyone make mistakes, let alone a new child. But do not think that by making mistakes as a new child, nobody would see it if you do not admit it. That's exactly your fault, by not acknowledging that you've made a mistake. Learn your mistakes, corrections, and move forward.

6. Implement new things without calculation
It is commonplace when a new person trying to fix something new at the company where he recently joined. However, you should be careful if you try to implement something new, even though you have not really understood what was already walking in that place for this. Know the process which was already underway in the new place, and learned that you can memerhitungkan anything that needs to be improved, and which can be maintained.

7. Do not ask for feedback
You do not have to wait six months or a year to learn whether what you are doing is correct or not. Waiting for so long can make you, the team, the company also lost precious time, even off the track. Discuss what you are doing is correct, have you ever made a mistake, then do a correction.
