New Leader Assimilation
Organizations are often obsessed with managing external risks. Yet, one of the biggest potential risks lies within, when key executives fail to live up to expectations, particularly in the critical first few month in a new role. Are you adequately protecting your investments in new hires while also providing them with the skills and knowledge needed for success?
We don’t just fill a job and hope that things work out. There is much to be gained from engaging a skilled professional coach who offers impartial advice and guidance during the executive’s first few months on the job. That’s why our full service retained executive search engagements include dedicated on-boarding coaching for newly hired executives — at our expense. This shortens “startup” times for new executives, increases learning and accelerates action while improving productivity. But most of all, new leader assimilation is designed to protect your investment.
Our network of known and trusted coaches deploy a proprietary methodology within a very specific time frame involving the new hire, his/her supervisor, peers, HR leadership, the CEO and others with whom core relationships need to be developed. Learning goals include:
- Understanding the organization’s objectives
- Adapting to the new culture
- Uncovering hidden social norms
- Learning how to effectively manage both up and down the organization
