Get the Most Out of Your First 100-Days
Avoid the Common Mistakes and Make a Positive Impact
Executives are changing roles at an alarming pace. Over 60% of incoming executives admit they are not adequately prepared for the new role. The risks are high, and 40% of executives who change roles or get promoted fail in the first 18 months. The cost of failure runs in the millions, not to mention the loss of productivity, morale, and reputation.
The first 100-days are a unique opportunity for leaders to learn and assess the business, cultivate key relationships, and enhance their own approach to make the business successful. Knowing how to navigate the first 100-days can make the difference between success and failure,
Imagine making terrific first impressions and quickly learning what it will take to be successful and doing it in a way that feels authentic and true to your own leadership values.
We work with executives to develop an Executive Transition Playbook, a blueprint for the first 100-days and beyond.

Whether you are transitioning to a new company or are promoted from within, this is a valuable time to leverage fresh thinking and ideas. It starts with you.
Proven, Time-Tested Strategic Approach
6 Components of a Transition Plan
The Executive Transition Playbook is a proven approach to developing an onboarding strategy and plan. It incorporates six components to ensure a leader’s success in the transition. The Executive Transition Playbook provides a systematic way to strategize and think about the aspects of the new assignment. We work with executives to customize onboarding solutions using the following six components to create a transition plan:
Learn: Executives can be hasty in their transition and miss the opportunity to learn about the business objectively. It’s a mistake to assume to know the business only to find out you have made the wrong assumptions. Use your leadership transition to gather information about the business.
Connect: Executives who make meaningful connections early in the transition foster trusting relationships and can enlist and engage others to action.
Assimilate: High-performing teams are critical to an organization’s success. Assimilation exercises enable the new executive and the team to mutually get to know each other and determine how to work together.
Lead: A transition is a perfect time for executives to upgrade and enhance their leadership. Don’t make a common mistake that approaching this new role like the last one will work.
Balance: Times of transition can be hectic and stressful as executives move out of their comfort zone. By attending to work/life balance, an executive is better equipped to meet both the business and personal requests on their time in addition to attending to their own health and well-being.
Communicate: People are eager to get to know and understand how the new leader will approach the business. Incorporating a clear communication plan into the Executive Transition Playbook is crucial to ensure messages and information are frequently conveyed throughout the organization.
