Book description
The authoritative updated and revised action plan for leaders
entering new roles
Your first 100 days in a new leadership role are critical to the
success of your mission, your relationship with your new team, and
your career. Turnover is high among new leaders who "didn't work
out" and the costs to them and their organizations are dramatic.
The solution is for every new leader to have an "onboarding"
plan. This updated and revised third edition of the bestseller The
New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan delivers expert guidance to
prepare executives for their new leadership roles, accelerate their
results, and reduce turnover.
With new chapters and sample action plans, the third edition:
- Helps you assess the internal political culture you'll be facing
- Explains why your new job doesn't start on "Day 1" but
on the day you accept the offer--and how to use the valuable time
before "Day 1"
- Explains the "BRAVE" approach to motivating your new
team members by understanding their Behaviors, Relationships,
Attitudes, Values, and Environment
- Includes downloadable forms to help you plan
- Provides advice for your bosses-so they'll know how to help you succeed
The third edition also includes a new 100-Hour Action Plan for crisis
situations, which has been adopted by the American Red Cross. The new
edition also explains how to use social media and other communication
tools to reach and motivate your stakeholders.
Discover the right approach for your new role and engage your new
colleagues by fully understanding the unwritten rules of the new
context. The New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan helps deliver
better results faster.
