Meet your new manager
A "Meet the Manager" video is a great way to introduce a new leader to the team and kick things off on the right foot. It gives everyone a chance to get to know the manager’s background, what they're all about, and their approach to leadership—all in a more personal, engaging way. Instead of just reading an email, team members get to put a face to the name, which makes the whole transition feel smoother and more approachable.
It's a simple but effective way to build trust and set the stage for a positive, open, and collaborative work environment.
NB: This is a great project to run in conjunction with the "Get to know your new manager" template. You can build the questions submitted to that project into the brief for this one

Meet your new manager
What is this project about?
We're excited to be welcoming you to the team, and what better way to do that than with an introductory video all about you! This is a really nice way for your team to get to know you, your personality, your expectations and management style, and for you to share a bit about yourself to help the team get to know you before you officially join.
What do I need to do?
We would like you to film some short clips introducing yourself to the team. Your message can be as creative or personal as you like - we just want to give your new team an opportunity to get to know the real you, beyond the job description.
How do I upload?
This is the Seenit platform that we'll be using to film, upload and edit your clips. There is a list of filming instructions below called "Scenes" so please capture 1 or more clips for each Scene answering the relevant questions.
What next?
We will use the uploads received to create a welcome video that will be shared with your new team. It may also be shared with the wider business and included in the company newsletter.
