When struggling to adapt to a new organizational structure, uncovering hindering assumptions is key to easing the transition. Start by reflecting on any preconceived notions you might have about the changes and how they affect your role. From a psychological perspective, these assumptions often stem from past experiences or comfort with the familiar. By questioning these beliefs and seeking to understand the rationale behind the new structure, you can challenge and overcome any mental barriers. This critical self-assessment enables you to adapt more effectively and embrace the new dynamics with an open mind. 🌟

After transitioning from a toxic workplace to a new company, I've found that adapting to the new organizational structure is challenging, but critical thinking has been key in uncovering assumptions that might be holding me back. Strategies to Adapt: Reflect on Past Experiences: I carefully examine if my negative experiences from the previous toxic environment are unfairly influencing how I view the new structure. Seek Diverse Perspectives: By engaging with colleagues at various levels, I gain a broader understanding of the new environment. Challenge Assumptions: I question ingrained beliefs like "that's how it's done" to open myself up to new approaches. These steps have helped me navigate the change more effectively.

According to my experience as a consultant, adapting to the new organization requires some serious combination of skill sets like a secret agent: 1) Situational Awareness 💡How we put our position in society. -> When to rush, when to walk, when to rest, when to stay quiet, when to showcase, when to motivate others, when to push someone else, when to fight. 2) Culture Observation 💡Observe as much as you can in your 3 months. -> Put much attention on the detail how they build their DNA, the way they work, how they're having a meeting, how is the pace and the workflow. 3) Peers Checking 💡Be relevant and be likeable at first! -> Naturally people don't even care with your skills. They care with your attitude and being at the same frequency.

To adapt to a new organizational structure, start by reflecting on how your past experiences might color your perception of the change. Seek diverse perspectives from colleagues at different levels to gain a full understanding of the new environment. Challenge ingrained assumptions about how things should be done and stay open to new methods. Pay attention to how decisions are made and adjust your approach accordingly. Observe the organization’s culture and align your behavior to fit in. Building strong, positive relationships with new colleagues will also help you integrate smoothly into the team.

While facing a new organizational structure, the first thing should be to stay positive as change is the law of nature, nothing is permanent only change is permanent. Change is growth. We should think that the change will make us leave our comfort zone and self-limiting beliefs. It will create balance and give us a new perspective.
