Your early efforts are crucial in a new leadership role.  By establishing yourself early with your team, they will be able to see what kind of leader you will be.  In order to be successful, being able to show the employees that you are committed and want what is best for the organization is a key factor.  Many of the items on the list have been learned by watching leaders before me as well as taking classes.  Some items are learned by trial and error, especially when you are new and are still learning the organization’s structure.  The organizational structure also impacts the leadership style as well as the organization’s learning (Janicijevic, 2013).  Being able to utilize the structure will allow for a more centrally focused and cohesive team.  This will also help in your overall success.  Having a mentor will also be an asset to learning some of the needed skills the organization’s employees will be expecting.  By learning from the mentor, you can have better enduring success.
