Hi there everybody. Gabriel sent me a question over and it's, "What's the best way to introduce yourself as a leader in the first meeting?" Gabriel, first of all, congratulations on the new position. That's fantastic. The best way to tackle it is to simply state that, "I am here to help you be your best. This is what my background is." That's a great introduction to them. It lets them know what you care about, what your focus is, and that you're going to be focused on them. The next thing that you want to do is actually pull everybody in for an individual one on one meeting. You can reiterate that message to them that you're here to help them be their best, but simply ask them some questions. It's, "What is going right in the organization right now? What is going wrong in the organization right now?" This gives you information on what it is that you're going to be tasked with and the lay of the land in the organization. Because getting up to speed is a huge factor in you being viewed as an excellent leader is how quickly you come up to speed. Those two questions help. The next thing is, "Where are their opportunities that we aren't taking advantage of? Where are their problems that we need to fix? How can I help you work at your best?" Those five questions give you an enormous amount of information. It lets the team know that you are going to be bringing them into the decision making process. You are going to be empowering them to help their own work environment, if you will. It sets a great tone. It gives you a ton of information, a ton of things that you can work on, which will bring it some ownership. That's how you tackle those sorts of things. That's a great way to handle it Gabriel and congratulations again. Thanks.
