There is no better friend than active listening. • No one likes a know-it-all - Be honest, confident and humble • You will still do something embarrassing. And you will survive. You can't improve if you are worried about your mistakes. Don't worry about it! • Observe what everyone is doing. Ask questions. • Be comfortable asking others for help or referencing documentation, Try not-to-figure-out-yourself unless that is expected • Follow Before You Lead, • Be tolerant of practices that are foreign to your established approach. • Mastering established team practices and rituals builds trust. • Automating an existing process is likely to be better received than making an independent decision to replace an existing tool. • Spend some of your personal time masterings and enhancing tools the team uses. • Ensure your output is reviewed by an existing employee before it is rolled out.
