ETIQUETTE TIP: The Young Manager and Older Employees

The first meeting of the new younger manager with much older team members is always the most important.

A new young manager should set their style of management immediately upon entering the room where the staff waits for their first meeting.

Upon first meeting greet and shake hands with every team member, ask their name and position - it is good to enter into `small talk'.

Read all team members biographies and job descriptions before attending work for the first time.

Demonstrate your qualifications, without showing off.

Fill the team with your excitement and enthusiasm for your new position.
