You know what it's like to be the new kid in school or on the team, so remember that feeling when a new person comes into your group today: welcome them warmly. A simple smile can open up a million possibilities with this new person and get them in your court should any disagreements arise with other people. By positioning yourself as compassionate and supportive, you'll gain this person's trust and give them someone to talk to. Plus, they have useful news to share.
