Setting a Strategy for Success in a Job 

Success in job or with a new organization is often defined by the strategy you set for success.  A process that we have found that works is simple and helps CIOs as well as project managers succeed is as follows:

• Assess the environment to understand the current state of affairs - enterprise want employees and managers to bring something to the table. If the department is running smoothly, they want want a leader to help move the organization forward. If something is not working, they want the someone who can fix it.
• Define what is expected of you and what success is 3, 6, and 12 months out - How management define success for the position. To do this the managers need to know what management's expectations are.  Ask the right questions and listen to the answers.
• Learn the politics of the situation - Managers need to get to know their peers, supervisors and who the power centers they are interacting with. Managers need to identify the individuals who directly and indirectly affect their ability to get the job done - it may be an individual completely out of the manager's organizational structure.
• Learn how people interact and how things get done - One of the trickiest tasks of any job is figuring out the culture and office politics so you don't step on toes or run afoul of your colleagues.
• Get something good done quickly - the enterprise will judge every manager every day, so the successful manager needs to have credibility. One way to do that is to look for a success and communicate it .
