Episode notes
Onboarding Framework
- Use the "three C's" framework when onboarding into a new role: Conversations, Comprehension, and Conviction.
- Have many conversations with various team members to gather diverse perspectives and identify key themes.
Team Alignment and Insights
- Dedicate focused time for in-depth discussions with your team to align on vision and strategy, like locking yourselves in a room for several days.
- Get insights by having other teams present their top 10 pain points, rather than just showcasing their achievements.
Emergent Themes
- Converging themes and a shared understanding will naturally emerge from collaborative exercises and discussions.
- Trust the process and avoid prematurely imposing a vision or forcing convergence too early.
