At the end of my last post I used the term ‘fog’ as in “The Fog of War” a term used to describe being in a situation that does not allow for perspective. I often don’t know what I should be doing or if I’m doing things correctly… I’ve been trained and I’m following my training but I don’t know that what I’m doing is correct or best practice.
Being new in an office is very different to being new in outside sales. In an office one can observe and mimic others as well ask quick simple questions anytime… I played phone tag with my manager for most of the day today. In outside sales you are alone for most of your first 90 days and being alone with everything new the fog can envelop you.
The good thing is when a fog lifts it was like it was never there, you don’t remember it and the day can seem more clear then ever.
