So. You are at a new gig. You are no longer the top dog. Accept this, hell embrace this. It should be a huge weight lifted from your shoulders. Focus first on getting to know your direct reports (if you have them) and then your peers. It's important to build rapport with your peers because they will show you the ropes. If you have the time and freedom invite said peers to have a drink after work or get a bite depending on culture of drinking in your place of residence. Engaging with your peers outside of strict work hours is still unfortunately the most effective route in most cases to build strong connections. Overall though just try to relax a bit at the start, observe and soak up knowledge. Things will be different but that doesn't make then wrong. Try to understand the pros and cons of new place vs old place so that once you have acclimatized and garnered some respect you can offer opinions on how to combine the best of both worlds. To be honest going from being the preeminent domain expert to being a highly positioned noob is hard. But learning to see everything from a new point of view is totally with it.
