“The most important thing to do is to take time to learn, to listen, and to observe. Research the position and get to know the environment before making changes within your new role. Work hard to learn what you need to in order to do your job well… Take the time to navigate through the restructuring of those important relationships. In the end, the most important thing you can do is to do your best, while looking after yourself, and continuing to look forward.“
