Stay in very close touch without “handholding.” Here is what you can do:
  1. Don’t count on open-door policies of the past; you have to be more proactive than in the past
  2. Put standing weekly 1-on-1s on the calendar to check progress, offer help and redirect if needed
  3. Conduct informal check-ins daily, some more frequently than others and frame them as coaching sessions to learn on the job and keep things on track
