The DATA Model-Part Three

The T of William Bridges's DATA model stands for temperament or the fit
between your personal style characteristics and the organization's culture.
More jobs are lost because of issues of fit than for any other single
reason, mostly because organizations generally don't seek to educate new
employees to its culture and most new employees don't seek to learn about it
realities.

A fundamental failure that is directly causal, is the inability of new
employees to seek to development relationships with peers and others who can
help them learn what is expected and how to operate successfully. One
critical thing to remember is to set goals with your boss for the first
weeks or months of your employment. It often happens that you may be doing
things that you think are expected, only to learn, after the fact, that your
boss has different expections. The failure to express expectations clearly
and to explain why the need and to ensure that you know how to achieve,
belongs to your boss; however, the pain most likely will be your's. Next
time, the second A.

Good day and good work,
