Think back to the first or most recent time you stepped into a senior leadership role.
Were you nervous?
Excited?
How important was it for you to put your best foot forward?
And–most crucially–what did your company do to help you get up to speed quickly and succeed?
The startling statistic is that the new leader failure rate consistently ranges from 40 to 50%. Half of new senior leaders fail to succeed in their roles. Many who fail do so within their first two years. The tragedy is that most organizations adopt a ‘sink or swim’ approach when it comes to onboarding senior leaders.
On the other hand, the best firms adopt a structured approach to senior leader onboarding that takes the guess work out of integration and accelerates the time to performance in the new role.
Check out this mega-infographic on executive onboarding to see what it takes to ensure a new leader’s success and avoid the costs of failure–both for the executive and the organization.
