Hi Guys,

I've been working through the podcasts and finding them very useful but unless I'm looking in the wrong place I can't find anything that relates directly to my question.

I'm 25 and I am just about to start my first full time management role (I have had 'acting up' periods in the past) at a brand new leisure facility with a completely new group of staff.

The podcasts I've listened to focus on taking over existing teams and not making changes in 90 days etc but obviously this isn't an option for me. Does anyone have advice for how they would go about this task, particularly in relation to how I should handle my first meeting with the new team?

Cheers,

Chris

Wow!  A brand new team...  Never worked together?  That's awesome.
Your first meeting should be meet and greet along with some kind of introductory exercise.  Tell them who you are and find out who they are.  In meeting 2 start talking about meeting ground rules.  This would also be a good time to introduce the concept of One On One meetings.
  Congratulations!  This is an exciting time for you,
--Michael

 A great opportunity!
There is a series of podcasts on rolling out the Manager tools trinity, I think you can jump right in without the 90 day delay.
 
Tells us how it goes
