Executive Onboarding – Accelerating Leadership Transitions
 

Hosted by: PrimeGenesis Executive Onboarding
Event Date: Tuesday, September 9th, 2008 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time

Moving into a new position of leadership is one of the toughest challenges people face. Nearly half of new leaders fail in their first eighteen 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. But how can organizations and new leaders avoid them?

Learn how new leaders can take charge, build their teams, and get great results in new roles faster than anyone thought possible. This is important because of the time value of accelerated performance and because delivering better results faster is the best way to reduce the risk of failure in a new leadership role. This talk focuses on how to manage onboarding as a process with discrete steps, invest in pre-boarding preparation before the start, and the need to focus on accelerating team performance after the pivot point of day one.

Presented by George Bradt, Managing Director, PrimeGenesis
