Class Description:
Moving into a new position of leadership is one of the toughest
challenges people face. Nearly half of new leaders fail in their
first 18 months. Often, failure is the result of crucial mistakes
made in the very beginning. Critical mistakes made so early
can be devastating for companies and leaders alike.
Learn how new leaders can take charge, build their teams and
get great results in new roles faster than anyone thought possible.
This presentation focuses on how to manage on-boarding as a
process with discrete steps, invest in pre-boarding
preparation before they start and the need to focus on accelerating
team performance after the pivot point of day one.
In this session you will learn to:
- Leverage the fuzzy front end between acceptance and day
one, to get a head start.
- Manage Day One and the all important initial impressions.
- Put in place building blocks of Tactical Capacity in the
first 100 days.
- Get buy in to the one burning IMPERATIVE.
- Use key MILESTONES to drive team performance.
- Invest in EARLY WINS to build team
confidence.
- Get the right people in the right ROLES
with the right support.
- Shape the team CULTURE with an ongoing
communication campaign.
George Bradt has a unique perspective on helping leaders accelerate
transitions based on his combined senior line management and
consulting experience. He’s worked in sales, marketing
and general management at companies including Lever Brothers,
Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola – literally around
the world. Now he is Managing Director of PrimeGenesis, the
executive on-boarding and transition acceleration group he founded
in 2002. Since then, George and PrimeGenesis have been able
to reduce the risk of failure fourfold for executives they have
worked with - from 40% to 10% by helping them and their teams
deliver better results faster.
