Hello everyone, my name’s Dmitriy. I am the new iOS developer. I was previously employed by ABC Company for three year.
During the interview, I heard many positive things about this team. You do a cool product here. I’m thrilled to be able to participate and help you out.
I enjoy Crossfit and Star Wars outside of work.
Here are some tips to improve this short speech.
How to introduce yourself as a manager to a new team
Pro tip: Someone should first give credit for your management skills. Next, you can position yourself as a leader.
Hello, Everyone. My name is Dmitriy. I am a new project manager…
While you are speaking, wave your hands and smile. Next, look around at your team and smile or nod to anyone who has responded to your greetings.
But, after ten years of being a PM, I realized one thing. People like you don’t need a manager. You need to have clear responsibilities, a safe environment and exciting tasks. Aside from that, I believe that no one should work for more than eight hours unless they really want to.
I heard amazing things about your ability to manage projects and the products that you create. My main focus will be to examine all the great things you do here.
Perhaps we will find areas for improvement that will make it easier to do our job. If you like it, we might keep it as-is.
The last two sentences should be spoken slowly and listened to carefully. Are they looking for changes? Are they proud of the work they do?
We’ll all have one goal in the near future. This project will make your colleagues jealous of you for working with this team.
This means that I will need your support in the coming week. I would like to meet with you all to discuss your ideas and insights on how to achieve this goal. Together, we will create a plan that allows you to do your best work.
Okay, I’ll be sitting somewhere. You can think of any topic you want.
I am open to all discussions. I’m very excited to be here.
This speech contains many important points. It is important to adapt it to your leadership style.
You can watch the video to see how I quickly create your own introduction speech.
Project management theory doesn’t work!
You feel like you know everything, but it all falls apart when you put it into practice.
I have been there. This book is a result of 10 years of experience. It will help you to be a great project manager in real businesses with real people.
