We all know how ducks look calm on the surface while paddling like mad underneath the water. That is exactly the approach you should take to onboarding – and perhaps to the new year in general.
Paddle like mad to get a head start before the start.
Paddle like mad to manage your message through every curve in the stream.
Paddle like mad to build your team over your first 100 days.
These are the keys to appearing calm, cool, and collected on the surface.
