The most important 5 minutes of a new leader
summary
Run a five-minute exposé at the very start: introduce who you are and why you’re here, state the situation and your personal and company values, and list concrete positive and negative behaviors you will and won’t accept (example: meetings start at 9:00, admit lateness rather than ghosting). Give a short vision of what the team should become but avoid no numeric targets, and then defer questions by saying “take coffee, come back with questions” so issues surface in small groups and get answered.
