​

  •  Collaborate with new team members to create expectations and milestones – theirs and yours, determine a plan for areas to  develop, and set dedicated one-on-one weekly meetings to follow through.

​​

  •  Take time to introduce new leaders: highlight their talents, strengths, and skills, how their roles intertwine, and how their presence contributes to your organization's evolution. 

​

  •   Provide time and space for colleagues to learn each other’s stories.  

 

 

  •    Create a culture that practices speaking truth to power without fear or barter.
