Job change entails new acquaintances. How to establish relationships in a close-knit team correctly? Simple tips will help you quickly connect with new people.
Having come to a close-knit team, you need to gradually begin to establish good relations with its members. To do this, first of all, you need to carefully look at your colleagues: what style of communication prevails between colleagues. If there is no friendly relationship between them, but only business, then you should not try to establish close contacts with anyone. Otherwise, your attempts to make friends will be regarded as sycophant.
Find a leader
After you take a closer look at the team, you need to think about who is the unofficial leader. It may not necessarily be a leader. Often a person holding an ordinary position plays the role of the first violin - they listen to his opinion, he is respected. With such an employee, you need to establish good relations immediately, but this should be done tactfully, otherwise insincerity will be noticeable. All these activities will help you to join a close-knit team faster and take your position.
A visit to a corporate party is required
In an informal setting, it is easiest to establish a good relationship. Corporate evenings will be an excellent reason for this. They are often arranged in a team as activities that help strengthen interpersonal relationships. You need to try to get to such an event and take an active part in the general program. Spending time together, preparing and participating in a party, drinking tea - all this will help very soon establish, if not friendly, then good business relations.
Taking care of getting closer to the team, do not forget about decency. Everything has a norm. Even if everyone drinks alcohol and behaves noisily, you should not behave in the same way - you are new here and do not yet consider yourself your own. It is unlikely that this behavior will help to win the favor of colleagues. Having fun with you today, tomorrow they may remember your inappropriate behavior.
On a visit
In some companies, it is considered the norm to invite colleagues to visit them. Do not give up this opportunity. If you are invited, be sure to go, after purchasing a small present. A gift doesn't have to be expensive, but it doesn't have to be an empty trinket. The best option is fruit.
After 2-3 such visits, you yourself can invite the team to your place, having found some plausible reason. In this case, do not forget about the leader.
All these simple tips will help you quickly and painlessly integrate into a close-knit team, of which you are already a member.
