Good point highlighted here, Ralna. I appreciate your comments. I did have at least three sessions with the CHRO on the culture, expectations, and potential challenges for anyone taking up this position. They did share that culture remains a challenge as some employees on the lower and middle level of GLC tend to be very contented and less receptive to changes, but none the less the leaders of the GLC are clear that they need change.

This means my soft skills i.e. communication, convincing, and so on will be put to the test when I join them. It's crucial for me to effectively navigate these cultural differences and manage the expectations of both the GLC Management and my team.

Furthermore, as I'm setting up the department, I'm given the task to recruit like-minded members. This gives me a chance to build a cohesive team that aligns with the new vision and goals. While there is always the risk of facing resistance or gossip, I plan to foster an open and inclusive environment to minimize these issues.

Additionally, I am preparing strategies to ensure a smooth transition and to build trust within the team. Establishing clear communication channels, setting realistic expectations, and demonstrating a commitment to understanding and integrating into the existing culture are part of my approach. Hopefully, these efforts will help mitigate any potential conflicts and support a successful adaptation to my new role.
