Instruction manual
one
Once you are in a new environment, it is best to get to know everyone right away. Do not say a long greeting speech. It’s natural enough to smile and shake hands with the team members.
2
Take a look at the behavior of the team. Identify the leader and subordinates. Start communication with the leader. Note that the hierarchy is consistent in the work team. And in an informal company, it is unofficial. In a friendly team, no one wants to recognize themselves as subordinates. Keep this in mind.
3
People in the team always respond positively to humor. Be a source of laughter for everyone. Learn a couple of jokes or come up with a pair of witty phrases. All in your hands.
4
The team loves free drinks and snacks, more than humor. If you absolutely do not want to do anything, then a party with gratis treats is the best way out.
note
Do not immediately draw attention to yourself. The collective life is not tuned to drastic changes. Try to smoothly gain confidence in the participants.
Useful advice
Before meeting a team, if possible, get as much information as possible about its members. This will help break down the inner barrier that arises when one gets to know each other.
