Several times in my career, I took a job that was new, and often, on a new team at a young organization. While these opportunities have their benefits, the drawbacks can subsequently challenge growth trajectory within that organization. How do you advocate for the existence of the role while also executing in it? How do you identify the truly crucial stakeholders while being new to the organization?

How do you balance breaking down siloes with navigating organizational dynamics. I will draw on my own personal experiences, as well as lessons from cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and multiparty negotiation to share actionable takeaways for progressive professionals that either are or may soon be in a newly created role.
