Read between the lines
Check immediately anything that is unclear
Address (or note) any apparent hidden agendas
Be aware of the informal communications channels as well as the hierarchical ones
Note any areas requiring further investigation
You need to get to know people, their working methods, strengths and weaknesses. This cannot be done in five minutes; start early and handle it objectively.
Beware of making, and acting on unwarranted, instant assumptions about people.
A First Staff Meeting:
Get the team together as soon as possible, on the first day if you can. Remember, your meetings speak volumes about the kind of manager you are. Plan to make them really effective, therefore.
Set the time and date to be as convenient to people as possible (you may need to check this with a new group)
Organise the administration (place, refreshments, acting to stop interruptions, etc)
Issue a clear agenda in advance
Make sure the agenda is worthwhile, fits the time available and is useful for those attending
Tell people what you expect from them (for instance, if someone is to give you a run down on their section or work, let them plan how to do it from your clear brief)
Set start and finish times and try to stick to them (you are setting up habits here so be sure to start on time)

Some people make things happen, some watch while things happen, and some wonder what happened.― AnonymousA 2,000 percent solution is any method of accomplishing what your organization does now with zero-to-four percent of the current time and resources, or accomplishing an increase of 20 times in results while employing the same or fewer resources. A combination of those results can also be a 2,000 percent solution.When first creating a 2,000 percent solution, many people report discovering that their solution could have been implemented at any time during the prior 50 years. But no one had. Why is that?H

So many people use air terminals for their travel that it is virtually impossible to avoid finding gum throughout the terminal. Adding to the problem of gum removal in air terminals is the fact that even in the terminals' shops and stores, chewing gum is sold. Chewing gum machines allow people to buy gum easily, without having to set foot in one of the stores. Children chew it throughout the terminal, and they are more prone to leaving these little "gifts" than adults are (and they are quite prone to it as well). The only solution is gum removal in air terminals.The challenges to gum removal in air terminals:Gum removal in a

Can you articulate the value proposition for your companys products and services? Value propositions are critical in influencing and convincing customers to make a decision to buy. A strong value proposition should be used at every step of the sales cycle, whether it is making the initial call or closing the sale.A value proposition is a clear, concise series of factual statements about tangible results your products or services will deliver. Value propositions are focused on the customer. Its about the value the customer is looking for and the value you can deliver. Its understanding and meeting the needs of the client. The mor

I have to hand it to Tony Robbins for one thing, and that is sharing his secret for motivating yourself to accomplish anything.You have to associate NOT doing it with massive pain, according to that infomercial king, and hes right.But he doesnt go far enough, as far as Im concerned.The better approach is not to think about pain in the abstract, but to actively deny pleasures in the here-and-now. These include everyday indulgences, and evenif you mustbathroom breaks until you reach your next goal.Lets say youre in sales, and youre making calls to set appointments. Instead of caving in to the defeatist, n

A meeting should motivate. People will wonder how your presence and style will affect them. Show them your impact will be beneficial. Spell out how.
The agenda for the first meeting will depend on your precise role. It is likely to include items such as:
Your understanding of the teams role and immediate goals
Any necessary explanations for change (e.g. why you are now manager)
The current position (progress, problems, opportunities)
A chance to ask questions
Details of, and reasons for, any immediate changes
Reporting and communications procedures (e.g.: when and how you plan to keep in touch with individuals and the group)
Action points on immediate operational issues
You should ask as much as inform, and not change existing procedures without good reasons (and knowing the facts). However logical changes may be, people will be suspicious (Will it adversely affect me?) so see, and explain things, from their point of view. Empathy is your greatest ally in the early stages of managing a group.
Early Issue: Early Action
Here is something to do as soon as possible (though always with a firm basis of information). Identify an issue waiting for attention and which is seen as needing attention. And sort it out.
Something where you can:
Tell people you recognise it is a priority, one that must not be left
Explain the basis of a decision
Specify action to be taken (this could be a temporary measure)
Take any additional action necessary (e.g.: confirm in writing, consult o
