Why New Leader Onboarding Coaching?
Transitioning to a new leadership role can feel like drinking from a fire hose. You need to get to know the industry, the company, a new set of players, and figure out how to get things done in a complex environment fast. All while adding value… without becoming overwhelmed. And often without going into the office.
Data shows that rigorous new leader integration programs can shorten time to productivity by 40% and improve new hire retention by 50%, yet most Fortune 500 companies, even with sophisticated strategic HR teams, fail to provide comprehensive on-boarding programs that do this well.
An external coach is an objective, confidential trusted advisor and thought partner who can strategize with you to plan your first impressions. Transition coaching accelerates integration and equips executives to build credibility fast while:
- Demonstrating visible leadership before and during the transition
- Understanding and assimilating into a new corporate culture
- Clarifying expectations and priorities
- Strategically setting new relationships up for success
- Identifying early warnings and misalignment
- Intentionally creating and leveraging your personal brand
- Advancing specific business outcomes
- Increasing your value to the organization
- Navigating and capitalizing on complex political systems
- Maximizing early influence
- Effectively integrating work and life
Coaching from LeaderShift Insights
LeaderShift® coaches are former operations, HR, and C-suite executives with proven coaching track records. Their expertise establishes credibility quickly with executive stakeholders so they can clarify expectations and cultural nuances early to optimize the new leader’s success.
New Leader Integration begins prior to start or soon thereafter in partnership with the HR team. The program identifies essential cultural and fit elements before they derail executives and is customized to the individual’s needs. Coaches can also facilitate New Leader Onboarding sessions to speed integration with the team.
