Establish leadership in the team

When you have been in this industry for several years and have accumulated some experience, you may want to seek new development space to come to a new company (or different departments of the same company ). You are eager to present your knowledge, experience, and leadership to new colleagues, but you are hitting the wall like the guys in the following example. Why? Let's take a look at the voice of Mr. new guy.

I recently took a new software development job, and I 've been experiencing a lot of ill will from coworkers and peers. it's really been killing my job satisfaction.

To explain, I was recently brought in to help a software team get a product out of the door, with a mandate of helping with some web app code. I 've been trying my best to integrate with the team, trying to earn some credibility and respect by making myself useful.

I 've been forwarding varous Joel on software essays to all, recommending that the Office stock up on code complete, leleware, and The Mythical Man Month, and I make an effort to point out everything I believe cocould be done better. I regularly browse through the source repository to find ways that other Members cocould be working better.

When other developers ask for my help, I try to maximize my input by broadening my skills to cover the way they re developing, how they cocould improve their typing form, what Naming Standard they use, to advocate a better code editing tool, and to give my educated final word regarding the whole stored procedure/dynamic SQL debate.

Despite all of this, I keep facing resistance, and I don't think the team likes me very much. lost of my suggestions aren't adopted, and several people have replied with what I suspect is thinly veiled sarcasm.

What's going wrong?

Are these developers just afraid of change? Are they so stuck in their ways? Do they simply like doing things the wrong way?

Yours truly,
The new guy

Obviously, this new guy is in a very embarrassing situation. How can we improve and establish our own leadership in the team? Yafla provides the following suggestions:

• Be modest
• Pay attention to the working method
• Make Score
• Do not be superstitious about your own experience.

It is actually quite simple, but whether a person can stick to these details after being competent and confident determines whether a person has the true leadership ability. Among these suggestions, making achievements or setting an example may be the most important one. People with leadership skills do not necessarily need good eloquence, But they absolutely need to have real materials, make good achievements, and always be able to do what they say and what they do, such a person's leadership is like a strong magnetic field, which naturally spreads out, attracting and influencing many people around him.
