Stand apart from the crowd. You’re a leader, not a follower. That’s especially hard to remember when you first join any group, whether it be a military squadron or a corporation. There’s an expectation, especially when you’re new, that you’ll ‘join in’ and become one of the gang. You need to hit that balance. If you completely separate yourself, you won’t win trust. But never forget – if you have your sights set at the top, you need to resist coming across as just another dog in the pack.
