Every new boss likes to demonstrate their particular way of doing things to their team, but blindly enforcing those rules can lead to unexpected consequences. If you’re new to any company, whether you’re in a position of power or if you’re in an entry-level position, you have to take time to learn and adjust the current system before making suggestions that would radically change things for everyone else.
