Joining a new team in the middle of a crisis

Crisis is a word that has become all too familiar to all of us. Imagine joining a new team during a crisis. In this episode, Michael and Chris talk with Whitney Hathcock about how managers can help their new teammates adjust in the midst of a crisis.

Show Notes

Joining a new team is stressful enough. But joining a new team in the midst of a crisis, personal or professional, can be daunting. In this episode Michael and Chris are joined by Whitney Hathcock, who recently joined the Uptick team while going through the effects of a tornado in her hometown and the COVID-19 pandemic. She shares some relevant insights that will help managers know how to help the folks they're hiring experience a less stressful transition.

What is Let's Talk Teams?

We couldn’t find the podcast on building great teams so we made our own to document and share what we're learning along the way. Let’s Talk Teams is a weekly show where we talk about leading, building, and contributing to great teams at work. Some episodes are a peek behind the curtain at the conversations we’re having at Uptick as our teams grow and adapt. Others will be interviews with managers or discussions about a recent blog post.
