From the course: Mistakes You Should Avoid at Work
Dwelling on the past
- We've all been there. It's natural when you get a new job or join a new team to compare all the ways in which your new team is different from your old team. You should absolutely bring your past experiences to your current role. However, be careful not to make the common mistake of dwelling on the past. It's an easy mistake to make. Maybe your last experience wasn't entirely positive, so you're trying to compliment your new team or you're anxious to have an impact, so you want to mention all the ways that you used to do things. It's really important especially early on to keep things in a good light and learn as much as you can about the way things operate in your new environment. So, instead of revisiting the past, use joining a new team or starting a new job as a chance to start fresh and learn new things.
