4 Things New Team Leaders Should Do First

HBR 4 Things New Team Leaders Should Do First New team leaders often skip over the basics of team building in a rush to start achieving goals. But your actions in the first few weeks and months have a major impact on whether your team delivers results. Here’s how to set things up for success: 

  • Get to know one another. Resist the urge to jump right into the work and focus instead on fostering camaraderie with team-building exercises.
  • Showcase your values. Explain what’s behind each of your decisions, what your priorities are, and how you will evaluate the team’s performance.
  • Explain how you want the team to work. Not everyone knows the best ways to ask for help or go about tasks. Set expectations and explain processes.
  • Set or clarify goals. Make clear what the team is working toward and how you expect to get there. Setting goals early on lays the framework for holding team members accountable.
