This guidance describes the first meeting a manager ought to have with a new team member.

Too many of us don't do a great job of focusing on hiring the right people…and then we compound the error by being too busy to get them off to a good start.

But this is Manager Tools, and there's a right way. As we like to say, here's how.

Thanks

That speech you propose for the new starters was a thing of beauty.   I'd love to have been spoken to like that when I started a new gig!

Another reason I'm proud to be one of your podcastaways.

Thanks

Mark

Agreed! Great Speech for First Day!

 I fully agreed with Mark: "The speech is a thing of beauty".  Thanks. Everything I believe at and the principles which the company I work for is based at are in that speech, not more, not less.  ¡Sounds perfect to say that out load in the first day!  Definitely can save a lot of hassle when some start focusing more on results while others on people wellbeing and then there is unnecessary disagreement.
