Why is “induction” in almost every company is painful like “injection” ? The basic problem with any group of people is resistance to change. No one likes changes and likes to change. But change is inevitable. The biggest problem with a group when a new person comes in, is to provide a way for smoother integration with themselves. All my “induction” experiences have been painful, because they apparently don’t like the idea of some one else coming in and taking charge.

When a new person joins a team, who should take the responsibily of providing a smoother integration with the team ? I guess its the responsibiliy of the team lead to make sure that the new guy jells in properly with the others, otherwise, he will feel insecure and deserted, staring at the monitor all the time. Even the most out-speaking guy can also find it difficult to directly interact with a new Team of people. But sometimes, the one who joins should be more pro-active and get in touch with every one so that they can undestand that he’s not a “threat”. Why humans hate to change? because every one feels insecure when something changes, and thinks that “change” is a “threat”. For a team the “fear of change” is a “threat” not the change itself. Wherever you go you find same kind of people, reluctant to accept the new guy into team. I understand that it takes time. Let me see what more I can learn.

If you were to start a company how would you resolve the induction problem so that the new guy can integrate seamlessly and effortlessly with the team he supposed to join?
