A common problem among professionals is that they often try too hard. If (as your mother probably told you), good things come to those that wait, then patience and diligence should be practiced. You need:
· To fit in
· To prove yourself
· To show that you can
· To show that you care
· To be a part of the team
When we are new at something, it’s natural to want to overcome that feeling of being a newbie or an outsider as quickly as possible. But it can’t be rushed. Be curious, ask questions, do more listening than talking, and don’t rush things. When someone new joins our team, we must all act as coaches and mentors to help them learn what, why, and how. Never forget those times when you were the newbie and remind yourself to always help others when they are new. That is the basis of onboarding: for that, take as much time as is needed to make your newbie feel like they know what they’re doing and that they belong. That’s what it takes to welcome someone and to make them effective at what they’re doing as quickly as possible. Help others find their place and feel comfortable with that today.
