NEVER STOP LEARNING Better To Look Before You Leap.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)(IBD'S 10 SECRETS TO SUCCESS)
Byline: Adelia Cellini Linecker
4 Starting a new job is a lot like being the new kid in school. You try hard to fit in -- without always thinking about the consequences of your actions.
Experts say you should tread carefully during the first weeks on the job, making sure you learn the ropes before taking major action.
That's often difficult for managers hired for a particular expertise or to do a specific job.
"Managers in particular have a hard time doing this because they think they have something smarter to introduce," said John Putzier, author of "Weirdos In the Workplace! The New Normal . . . Thriving in the Age of the Individual."
"You need to be accepted before people want to hear your opinion," Putzier said.
Louise Kursmark, president of Cincinnati-based consultancy Best Impression Career Services, says new workers need to make sure they're going in the right direction and not stepping on anyone's toes.
