Before we can lead, we must understand the team's expertise and historical context. - **Individual Engagement (One-on-Ones):** - **Objective 1 (Roles & Strengths):** Our first step is to conduct confidential one-on-one meetings to understand each team member's current role, technical strengths, and career aspirations.

This provides an invaluable operational history. - **Objective 3 (Communication Styles):** We will discuss their communication preferences and how they best receive feedback, crucial for building a positive team dynamic. - **Collaborative Engagement (Group Session):** - Following individual meetings, we will hold a group brainstorming session. This is a collaborative workshop to discuss recurring problems, align on our goals, and build a shared sense of mission. ## Our Methodology for Infrastructure Assessment & Strategy - **Principle:** Our strategy will not be based on assumptions, but on a rigorous, data-driven analysis of the current state. - **Immediate Priority:** Our first technical priority is guaranteeing 100% stability of all current systems. - **Comprehensive Audit:** We will partner with the IT team to conduct a full audit of the entire IT ecosystem, analyzing: - **Hardware:** Server health, workstation lifecycle, network peripherals, mobile device management. - **Software:** All business-critical applications, including Zoho CRM and IP Telephony systems, focusing on versioning, licensing, and integration. - **Network & Security:** The complete network topology, bandwidth capacity, firewalls, access controls, data encryption, and endpoint security. - **Business Continuity:** Existing backup protocols and disaster recovery plans to ensure operational resilience. - **Strategic Roadmap:** The audit's findings will be synthesized into a clear IT roadmap.
