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".

Thank you for this. Very helpful

I am a new supervisor at a company and i am learning a lot from you. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@LeadershipwithMike]

You are welcome 👍🏻

[@bochano]

Man, I’m about to step in as a manager of a big company and your videos confirms that I’m on the right way. Boosting confidence is what you do! Many thanks and greeting from Bulgaria. 🙏🏻

[@LeadershipwithMike]

You got this my friend!!!!!

[@JosephGCampo]

Commenced leading a team of 6 …Mike your vids have been instrumental at trying to be the best that I can for my team. Your videos are genuine. Thanks a million

[@JosephGCampo]

Was meant to say your approach comes across as genuine

[@LeadershipwithMike]

I appreciate this!! Thank you.

[@MsDari]

Thanks for making your videos! I have too long of a story to post here but was the volunteer coordinator for a festival that ended amazingly well with over 15,000 attendees but a month before the fest, our volunteer committee was undermined severely by past volunteers. I am now working on a PhD in Human Resources and told to narrow down my dissertation topic. I wish I had started this journey before the festival and discovered you sooner, I would have had some amazing skills, thanks to your videos, to deal with the corruption and undermining of the team. I want to study how great leaders have a team that are eager to be part of their organization and the failure of bosses... or managers... or something that have such poor leadership skills, they ultimately cost the company in high turnover rates, retraining, and loss of profits. You are the "textbook" I can watch instead of read. Thank you for all you do!

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Glad to help any way I can. 🍻

[@tanishamatthews2540]

I'm the new manager of a few of my current co-workers. These are great questions to ask and building trust are great ideas. Thanks for posting.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Glad to share!

[@myang651943]

Thanks, I appreciate this. I'm glad I found your video.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Glad we found each other too!

[@GroUp512]

Love this! So important to go in being humble and build trust. I've seen the mistake too many times of jumping right into some grand vision.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

The “grand vision” is a death sentence if suggested to early

[@Medietos]

Thank you for your quality videos. I am going to try to convert them into my situation and needs, since they don't apply as they are. I have never found any videos or books on situations like mine and have to cut my own path through the jungle.

[@MaggieBernard3]

I really needed to hear this. Thank you.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Glad to help

[@ProductivityACE]

Certainly agree with collecting those chips to cash in. And also the sharing of your own personal experience. This first meeting really is an important one and getting it right sets new managers up for success big time.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

And getting it wrong... well... we tried LOL 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Kissy-Suzuki]

It doesn't work with all people, I've taken on a team of people who need Authority, they thirst for it, and I knew this going in. So I took a different approach, I wasn't humble at all .... in fact, I took on my military attitude, and that worked! ... now I can be more humble!

[@smithwez1101]

what industry is this because, first I'm curious and 2nd the militaristic way really doesn't work except in the military and even then it is short gained, IMO. Your post is 2 years old now so I'm even more curious as too whether your personal philosophy has changed.

[@honestleader2420]

Great Video as always Mike. So often new managers want to share their grandiose plans on a first meeting and you have an entire department going WTF is this?!?! I was one of those managers in my very first management role 😂

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Oh noooo lol... it happens... if you’re smart... it only happens ONCE lol

[@RicardoHernandez-zr1pw]

@@LeadershipwithMike I am having my first meeting in a few days! This will help.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Good luck! Remember, it’s natural to be nervous so if you puke in your mouth a little... move on and handle business lol... JK. Hope all goes well.

[@sugarandspice2136]

The very first team meeting in my last job was awkward. My supervisor said "if I can take a non-supervisory position, I would." That was not only a big red flag, but it was very uninspiring. Who wants to be under a boss like that? This was also the same boss who called me for an intro meeting and gave her part of the intro. Then suddenly had a meeting and promised to call me back for my part of the intro and she never did. She never did share her expections or vision. Fast forward 6 months, I accepted a promotion opportunity with another company.

[@oananita2178]

This is so useful ! I am starting a new job as Store Manager. I was a section manager, got in maternity leave and came back as a store manager because I had a lot of pozitive results for promotion before I got in maternity leave. A part is new team, part old team so thank you for sharing all this ideas. P.s I am watching from Romania! 🤗

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Romania 🇷🇴 in the house…… Welcome. Glad to help!

[@oananita2178]

Please help with something. Do you think i should have a meeting in day 1?

Great thx for this video its help me alot.

Glad to help 👍🏻

[@karilynn7486]

Video is good, but needs to emphasize that being too friendly as a boss is NOT good! Your employees will see you as their equal and may lose respect. Be firm but fair from DAY ONE! It's better to keep your social life a little mysterious too.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

💯 correct!!

[@asdflsjfh]

Getting the respect of your team simply comes from showing respect and being human. Referring to yourself as anyone's "boss" and believing you're above your team is toxic leadership. You should actually view them as if they're above you - good leaders work for their team and not the other way around. You need them more than they need you, especially as a new hire.

[@LeadershipwithMike]

Love this!

[@StoicContrarian]

Ain’t that the f**** truth. I learned that the hard way; it’s a trap; they keep talking about building trust and getting to know your team; all nonsense.

[@julioe.martinez4606]

You want your team to feel comfortable around you, a good leader knows how to lead without losing their respect…. Bosses don’t have those skills…

[@marcalexbalayan1771]

Thanks😃

[@amapolapoppy8883]

Oh how I wish I could have a chat with you in person! I LOVE your videos.. I'm learning so much and I need all the help I can get. Thank you, thank you!😉

Hey, great content! What do you mean by don't ask for permission, please

[@FluffySmallThings]

I think he means, when starting out as a new leader, taking your inititiave and putting it into play, you were hired as they believed in you. Don't refer back to your peer to check if this very small change is alright to do so, change it. If it's asking to hire 20x people or something that requires sign off, then yes perhaps you might need to. But you are a leader because of your, initiave, your thought process and the fact you can say no and yes at the right times. Don't rely on someone else to make your decisions as... you're a leader, right? Or wrong?

[@yutube4850]
