We'll talk through your situation, identify your biggest challenges, and map out the highest-leverage next steps. If you've just inherited a new team, your first team meeting matters more than you think. Most managers walk into that meeting focused on proving themselves. That's a mistake. Your team is already asking questions: • Can I trust this new manager? • Are things about to change? • Is my job safe? • Do they understand what we're dealing with? • What kind of leader are they going to be? In this video, I'll show you the exact agenda I use for a first team meeting after inheriting a new team. You'll learn: ✅ How to lower fear and start building trust immediately ✅ What to say (and what NOT to say) in your first meeting ✅ How to introduce your leadership style without overwhelming the team ✅ How to handle difficult questions you can't fully answer yet ✅ The critical follow-up steps that happen after the meeting I've spent more than two decades leading teams in the technology industry, and today I work with tech industry managers who are stepping into new leadership situations through growth, reorganization, promotion, or acquisition.
