Overview
You need to treat the new members of your group or team with extra respect today, because they need to know that they are joining a positive culture, not a negative one. Hazing, intimidating, or initiating people who are new to your group is a waste of energy -- and counterproductive. It will only make it even more difficult for everyone to get along and become a more cohesive group. Do what you want to do when someone new walks into the room: Smile, extend your hand and introduce yourself.
