Action Steps

As suggested, make sure you promptly distinguish yourself from your colleagues by memorizing your company’s mission and vision statements. Don’t recite them to anyone, but mention them when discussing how various projects and initiatives might contribute to those important statements. Few people take the time to do this, and once you do it, you will deliver instant value in the eyes of your leaders and peers.

To discover your company’s culture and how things get accomplished, network throughout the company with people at all different levels of the corporate hierarchy.

As you build your network, ask your colleagues in your own department and those in other departments the following questions. Questions like these are excellent conversation-starters and will also demonstrate your interest in your coworkers. What is your role and your place within the organizational structure?

How do you contribute to the organization’s mission?

What are some of your recent successes?

What are some frustrations you have experienced?

What projects have you worked on (or are now working on) that have required interfacing with other departments?

If multiple departments take part in major projects, how is that effort coordinated, who has authority to make decisions, and are there any matrix-reporting relationships (i.e., situations in which an employee has a split reporting relationship to more than one boss).

Does our company have a formal process for bringing forth innovative or creative new ideas? (This is sometimes referred to as ideation.)

What are your candid views about how the process is working, and in what ways do you believe the process could be improved?
