Here are three things I wish I did when I first joined corporate America. That would have helped me stand out a lot. A. Not been afraid to ask questions. I promise you, half the people you’re working with don’t know what they’re doing. They’re just too afraid to speak up and say something. So ask the question, dumb or not. Be having one on ones with everybody on my team and asking them the specific question, what are your strengths and weaknesses? It’s good to know where people are strong and where they’re weak, so you can kind of fill that puzzle with the weaknesses and the strengths, you know? I see. I probably would have set my boundaries early on so that people knew not to play with me. A and B, I feel like, I don’t know, your team and your manager respect you more when you set boundaries and you have things in place and they know they can’t just run all over you.
