Start by listening, because -- "newsflash" -- you probably know less than the team you just inherited, so ask questions, find the real blockers, and do your actual job.
Also, stop hogging credit when things go right and then unloading blame when they do not. Happens all the time. Stop now... that routine is stale.
Keep micromanaging and you get 0 loyalty on day one, act professional if you want professional output... treat me lke a child and you will get the bare minimum.. your choice.
If you are a corporate climber (probably are) using us as a rung, expect minimum effort from me in return... no tip, no extra mile.
Respect is not a free perk of your title, the bigger the title the harder you have to work to earn it, and since I cycle through a new manager every 12 mo, you are on probation until you prove otherwise.
stop the pointless mtgs that could be an email and stop spamming me on chat, that noise is not productivity.
Say AI like it is magic fairy dust and you owe the swear jar, pay up unless you bring budget and real use cases.
And cut the passive aggressive nonsense where everything is fine all year and then at review time I am suddenly the worst employee in history, give straight feedback when it matters or save the performance theater for someone who buys tickets.
