In any team there is always a president or a general director - this is the queen.
Character of the hero. You can learn it from the regal, sometimes hysterical behavior, whenever possible, and the desire to "cut your head" or organize "games in croquet" and appear wherever you like. Such a person is best avoided if possible. If, of course, your post admits this. However, it happens that in some kingdoms such people turn out to be quite pleasant and nice.
Your tactic in the team. If you are in direct subordination to "Her Majesty", do not be afraid to ask again and clarify an erroneous instruction for you. To you it is forgivable, because you are a beginner, and you can still not know much. And most importantly - always be benevolent, do not forget to smile. But to start a close relationship with the Queen and become her maid of honor is dangerous. Just imagine how your colleagues will envy you. But for you such an arrangement of the superior person can subsequently turn into a fixation of the situation. True, in large companies management rarely goes to personal contact.
The most close to the Queen is the Duchess - it's the vice-president or deputy in the company. Character of the hero. If she is not "sentenced to execution", she behaves quite dignified. The Duchess's opinion is as important as the opinion of the Queen herself. Duchess, vested with power, is a character similar in manner to the Queen. If the Duchess is the same horse, "driving up the mountain" ... then, most likely, she is angry and wants to throw off the cargo in the middle of the road. So do not get caught once more by the arm.
Your tactic in the team. No fear and servility. You must understand that you and your boss are completely equal, and at the same time observe professional boundaries. Yes, the superior is superior to you by status in this company. He has this right to give you orders. He has the right to evaluate the results of your work. But only in the professional sphere and with respect to you.
Should I be here or not?
The overabundance of information for the rules of behavior in the new team in the first working days plays a cruel joke with the newcomer, causing a desire to embrace the vast or, conversely, hide in the bushes. The first impression of work, of course, plays a big role, but it takes time to decide and correctly prioritize.
From the career
If from the first days to start something to improve, establish and implement, this will inevitably cause misunderstanding and aggression among colleagues. It is important first to take root in the collective and only then to carry out the revolution.
Your own enemy
Do not harass yourself that you are not yet "in the know" and compare yourself with those who are not the first day at work. Be patient with yourself - everything will clear up and get settled. After a while you will look at the new employee, and remember how they started.
Secondary Characters
The most ambiguous hero of the office is the HR-manager of the company - it's a Cheshire cat. Characteristics of the hero. Only he alone is able to smile around the clock and appear out of nowhere. However, the cat's smile is not worth taking for a sincere attitude to you. It's just that he has such a job: create a favorable atmosphere and unite the team. And it's best to do it, smiling.
Your tactic in the team. He can be told about the difficulties that have arisen and ask for advice. But do not forget that in the fairy tale the Cheshire Cat belonged to the Duchess. And this means that "everything you say can be used against you."
Someone from the team will necessarily be a March hare. Character of the hero. Strange balamut, incorrectly putting employees before the goal. And he himself is the one who incorrectly decides the tasks assigned to him. Your tactic. If your head suddenly became the March Hare, be sure to write down and clarify all his tasks, and better ask him to send you instructions by e-mail. Otherwise, you risk not doing what he really wanted. And so at your fingertips there will always be a document confirming the task that was put before you. And the Hare will have to maliciously gnaw its carrots, and not be discharged to you.
With this type is not necessary to have a friendly relationship. You never know what he will throw out the next moment. In addition, such creatures tend to arrange squabbles and substitute their own "friends". Dear March Hare with great pleasure will tell all his colleagues that you want to take his place and hate your neighbor in the cabinet.
In the new company, the first time is most likely to be afraid of the white rabbit.
Characteristics of the hero. It is full of new ideas and plans, not always, however, successfully implemented them.
Your tactic in the team. Very many troubles would not happen to our Alice, do not follow it. But, on the other hand, maybe one of these ideas now really needs implementation. So just think carefully before you follow him.
With whom and what kind of relationship, time will tell. If you have friends, try this friendship, at least for the first time not to stand outside the office walls. Surely you remember that Alice did not have friends in Wonderland. The most faithful waited for her at home.
In many companies, you can face groups of "volts" and "sixes" who love "undercover" games, are at war with someone or sit up. You will surely be lured into a tangle of scandals, in which you risk becoming entangled in solitude.
If you find that the company has intrigue and gossip in the culture of communication - think about whether you want to permanently associate a career with this work? However, if you are determined to stay, then be prepared for the fact that, even without participating in the dissemination of gossip, you will definitely become the object of a couple of them. But if, however, the circumstances develop in such a way that the employees are divided into two camps, to remain alone is the same as leaving the line of fire. Apparently, you still have to choose whom to join. And in that case, much will depend on your choice. Try to weigh all the pros and cons, as much as possible calculate the situation, which leads to this or that choice. And then take a decision and get acquainted with the "associates". Know the rules of the game you need!
Is home better?
Do not regret the old work. The new company is new opportunities and people, the next stage of development. Surely you changed jobs for a reason. So, they made the right choice, since they came here. Therefore, with any difficulties you must always try to cope. Constantly encourage yourself and move to the intended goal. Do not forget that only in the beginning you work for a reputation. And then it will work for you.
