How not to crash and burn at your new job like Anthony Scaramucci
How not to crash and burn at your new job like Anthony ScaramucciHow not to crash and burn at your new job like Anthony ScaramucciOn Monday,President Donald Trump ended the rocky tenure of his new White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.After only ten days.The New York Times reportedthat the new White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, made a direct request to remove Scaramucci. The White House later confirmed the ousting in a statement with Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying that, Mr. Scaramucci felt it welches best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.Scaramuccis time at the White House is officially done. Sanders said that Scaramucci has no other role in the administration. Although its unclear if weve seen the last of Scaramucci in politics - what is clear is that Scaramuccis spectacular bridge-burning, expletive-filled attitudeis likely to blame for his abrupt departure. Here are some takeaways we can take from his days in office on how not to start a new job.Loyalty is earned, not saidThroughout his short-lived tenure, Scaramucci asserted authority he did not fully have.Although his original start date was not until achter monat des jahres 15th, Scaramucci spent his days as communications director talking down to journalists and co-workers as if he was already fully working in the role. In one profanity-laced tirade to the New Yorker, he promised harm and retribution to his colleagues who crossed him. Theyll all be fired by me. I fired one guy the other day. I have three to four people Ill fire tomorrow, Scaramucci said.Four days after promising to fire and f- ing kill all the leakers, Scaramucci himself faced his own threat.According to reports, the expletive-filled, unprofessionalNew Yorker interview may have been one of the final straws for the incoming chief of staff.Kelly, a retired four-star Marine Corps General, just started his job as the new chief of staff on Monday, bu t through Scaramuccis removal, he made it very clear who was in charge not Scaramucci. When Reince Priebus was chief of staff, Scaramucci had made a deal to report directly to the president over Priebus. Its clear that Kelly was not going to abide by this arrangement any longer.No matter how much you declare your loyalty and access to the boss, know that its conditional upon your performance and needs to be earned.When youre new, youre on probationRemember that when youre new, your job is not guaranteed. All parts of your jobs are being evaluated in your first few months. Publicly calling your co-worker a paranoid schizophrenic makes you look unhinged and unprofessional, not the other way around. Beyond his foul-mouthed feud with a reporter, Scaramucci also earned unflattering press with news of the divorce to his second wifeDeidre Ball. Ball filed for divorce days after giving birth to the couples son, reportedly due to Scaramuccis naked political ambition.The Times reported that a fter a weekend of hearing about Scaramuccis bad press, President Trump began to see Scaramucci as a political liability and tauglichkeit embarrassment.The big takeaway? Know when youve screwed up and own up to it instead of doubling down. Your superiors will be watching you very carefully.The reign of Anthony Scaramucci, White House communications director(July 21, 2017 July 31, 2017), has ended but his lessons live on. Scaramuccis swift departure is an education to everyone about the perils of starting a new job. Dont make promises you cant keep. Dont declare your undying loyalty too early- know that it needs to be earned. If you mess up, own up to your mistakes, and do it early. And above all, dont get Moochd.
