Doesn't mean your hire is inexperienced at all, or won't have a transition period, but if you are of the "my way or the highway" mindset you're putting yourself at a disadvantage.
Until they know our business model, how would they make recommendations on how to do their job? Until I have trained you in whatever you need to know, how do you know what to do? I have worked with training first, some hands on before we entertain them making changes. Those that started out wanting to change the job before they know the job have done nothing but make life difficult for themselves and me in the process. My problem has been people who show up on day one with a plan on how best to do the job. Would YOU accept that? I start by studying the system, my job procedures then ask my questions about my new ideas for the job. We can discuss your ideas when you know more as a group. I don't want you upsetting the group to test out new theories till I am comfortable with you knowing your job.
