input. People like being asked for their opinions and being part of the solution to prob- lems. ❚ ❚ Show you are willing to work. Everyone likes someone who DOES things and doesn’t just tell other people HOW to do things. So, the new manager needs to be a doer and help put out the work that is required by whatever work group, team, department, or office over which he or she is the leader. Being a good worker is always an important element of gaining respect from the troops. ❚ ❚ Be very conscious of symbolism. Even if your role entitles you to the biggest office or the closest-to-the-door parking space, or a bigger desk, don’t take them (if you can avoid doing so). Those signs and symbols of superiority will do nothing but create jealousy and animosity from others who may feel more entitled due to their longer tenure with the firm. ❚ ❚ Be careful who you associate with. For example, being seen too often with someone who is not well thought of by the rest of the team could taint you. Don’t show favorit- ism and be sure you aren’t betting on the wrong horses too early in the game. ❚ ❚ Promote your accomplishments. Of course, this has to be done appropriately. But there is nothing wrong with some sort of weekly or monthly reporting of facts and tasks accomplished that show, without a doubt, that you are contributing. Don’t assume everyone else thinks you are contributing just because you were hired in as a manager. None of these are magic potions for acceptance, but each of them, if done, will increase your odds for success! MARK ZWEIG is Zweig Group’s chairman and founder. Contact him at mzweig@zweiggroup.com.
