THE OLD JOB - NEW JOB BLUES OR ODE TO TRANSITION TO A NEW INSTITUTION

Session Speaker: Robert Paterson

So, for whatever reason, you're starting a new job

Chorus - We can talk about the why and how that all happened

What do you do?

What do you bring from the past?

What do you NOT bring from the past?

Chorus - We can talk about the value of experience and strategically when to take advantage of it.

How do you build initial trust?

Chorus - We can talk about taking charge but not souring the mash

Internal and external relationships

How do you evaluate your new peers?

How do you evaluate your new situations?

How do you evaluate you staff?

How do you evaluate your budget?

Chorus - We can talk about how to listen and when to speak, how to bend and when to fold and when to sit and hold on tight.

After all that what's next?

The plan

Implementing

Low hanging fruit

Picking up the pieces

Chorus - We can talk about promises and pitfalls

Organizational approaches

What works for me?

What doesn't work for me?

Chorus - We can talk about what works for you?

If time and interest allow, we'll complete the song by talking about knowing when to get off the stage.
