The Dos and Don’ts of Becoming a New Senior Lead”, focusing on finding the right balance between rapid change and listening and learning.

So whether you’re walking into chaos, calm, or something in between, remember this:

Key Take Aways

✅ Do lead with humility and curiosity.
 ❌ Don’t fall into the trap of over-correcting or proving yourself too fast.
 ✅ Do make thoughtful, symbolic early changes.
 ❌ Don’t forget the human and emotional terrain.
 And above all—play the long game.
