Let’s say you show up to your first day of a new job and notice your company uses an antiquated version of messenger. You’re a Slack master and think that anything else is a waste of time. But before you barge into your boss’ office to demand a change, something stops you.

We sit down with our CEO for 15 minutes each week, every week to get practical business advice so we can advance in our careers. In this episode, we learn what to do if you see a better way…

Key Takeaways:

Don’t show up to a new job and expect to change everything immediately
Do it their way first, so you understand their process, then act to improve it
Your definition of efficient may be different from someone else's - understand the context
If you didn’t create the process yourself, you’re not aware of all the dependencies
If you overstep your role, be sure to apologize
If you’re trying to influence someone higher up than you, start asking questions
If you start with why - it helps everything
