First Things First:
Day one as a manager: a great deal to consider if you are moving into a new situation. You should:
See your new manager early on: confirm your role and priorities and set up communications procedure between you both, especially to make clear how you check things during the first few days.
Arrange introductions to other key people: if your work involves contacts with others (another department, people on the same time level as you, etc), make sure you know them and begin to cultivate a relationship from the word go.
Meet your own staff: (more of this anon).
Once again, remember that you only get one chance to make a good first impression especially in a new environment. This may be a clich?, but its true. So, consider the details and get them right. For example:
Be sure to arrive on time (or a touch early)
Look the part (think about what you wear)
Meet The People:
Make a point of speaking to everyone on day one. If this is not possible (for example, someone may be away) set a time for an initial word. This can be informal (just a word at their desk) or in your office or meeting room. It needs to do various things.
Act as a personal introduction
Clarify, briefly, how you see their role (or how the other person sees it)
Dispel any immediate fears the team member may have
Answer any immediate questions (or say when they can and will be answered)
Begin to show you as the kind of manager you want to be
Ask questions and canvas opinion from the team about how things are going, what might need change, challenges for the future, etc
And Finally:
Keep these exchanges positive. Do not be afraid to put things on ice for the moment but be specific I cant answer that now; give me a day or two and I will say something about that when the whole team gets together.
Keep notes and keep promises made during such conversations.
