Quote:Very used to plodding away by myself
I think this is the heart of the challenge. I spent a six month contract last summer managing a team of 15 people. Although still a freelancer and not an employee, I was part of the team. Until that point I had been working remotely on my own. Two things I found
1) It was slower to get things done in comparison to making a decision and getting on with it yourself. I found this frustrating but had to work at just letting it go / leaving work issues at work.
2) People interrupt all the time. Finding space *within working hours* to do your work is really important because getting work done is how you develop respect from your new colleagues IMO.
Good luck.
