[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having managed disappointing new hires, I'd respect them more if they scheduled a check in meeting and said "I know I didn't hit the ground running on this project and I'm currently doing ABC to get up to speed. To develop XYZ set of skills I will also do 123. My timeline for this is LMNOP. are there additional things you recommend me doing?/other priorities to work on?"[/quote] I agree with this. I have also managed disappointing new hires. when someone can bring it up and say, "I don't think XY went the way I wanted it to. I've learned XYZ from that experience and plan to do ABC next time to solve the problem" it tends to indicate that they are capable of improvement (assuming the factors they are identifying are correct). I want to see that you understand what's not working and have ideas about how to do it differently and not that you're going to keep making it my problem.[/quote]
