Onboarding Tips
When you bring a new talent into the office, always keep in mind to under-promise and over-deliver in order for the current employees not to envy the new talent and feel like management is star struck.
Build Credibility and Trust with Quick Wins
It is always recommended to make the new star hire proves his value and gain trust of his colleagues, re-earn credibility regardless of his prior achievement and always communicate this expectation to him.
It is easy to make large promises, but it is much more difficult to actually follow through. It is crucial that your new superstar deliver successful results and contribute to the organization in order to build credibility.
