The main difference between the normal orientation of a new team leader or member -- under previous styles of management -- and the Fast Start New Hire orientation, can be summed up in one word: planning. Teams must spend time in the early stages of their development planning how they are going to perform as a successful group. 

Most of us can recall a time when we were part of an extraordinary team.  Being part of a team is a rewarding feeling. Whether your experience involved team  sports, a debating team, or a new-technologies research team, you were probably not aware of how the process of building your team was created. Most people will state, "it just happened". Planning a Fast Start New Hire process gives a new team member an accelerated start into the relationships that make up the team. The Fast Start New Hire process gives the new hire a template of the environment in which they are working, allowing them to utilize this knowledge in a way that fosters a depth of trust with their fellow employees. The Fast Start New Hire will facilitate an openness within the group that encourages constructive interaction among co-workers. This process will jump-start the development of a synergistic, dynamic,  team culture. 

The Fast Start New Hire orientation introduces leadership and communication skills. It concentrates on producing extraordinary relationships that lead directly to accelerated team performance. These rare yet crucial relationships form the basis of extraordinary teams. Because flexible, productive, innovative work teams are the key to a company's survival and prosperity, MCS researchers offer the new team member, or project leaders, a "tried and true" method of handling the most important strategic decision of their new career:  How to build relationships with co-workers during the first few weeks in a new position.
