A good article; it resonated with my current situation.

I'd like to share an insight from a workplace where I've been for 10 years and have had 6 different managers and various teams.

When you start working with a new manager or team, hold back on excessive commitment and trust until the first serious crisis arises within the team or department. This usually happens within a few months. It's in serious situations that people's true capabilities are revealed when they're needed most.

imagine some person, who just works exactly same way all time, presumably good.

and crisis arises, he still works and acts same way, he does not try to work harder.

would your test reveal his capability?
