- Quick validate. Check in with your manager frequently to see if you are on track.
- If you are having a negative experience, have a crucial conversation.
- Make sure the story you are telling yourself is the real story.
- Change in a company can be a trigger for innovation.
- If you decide to leave a company, do it in an organized way. Don’t lose your leverage and/or promotion opportunities by leaving too quickly.
- Keep your “enemies” close and stay in the look when changes are happening.
