Be humble and don't get too excited about fixing and improving things on day/week/month 1.
Just listen and observe and be patient for the first 3-6 months. There are often more to things than meets the eye and it will take time for you to get your head around it.

Couldn't agree with this more. In the last company where I worked, there was (unfortunately) a very high turnover rate. As someone who sat in the office and saw these new people come and go, you could definitely tell the ones getting too excited/charged to fix things on day 1 burned out much sooner because they couldn't really grasp the whole picture.
