Coaching Community of Practice: Leaders in Transition

When new leaders join an organization, it's a time of great excitement and promise - as well as potential for costly career-limiting mistakes and derailment. The key is an effective leader onboarding process that helps accelerate an executive's integration into a culture, enabling them to create impact and achieve results quickly. Recent research suggests that 40% of new leaders do not last more than eight months in their roles, primarily due to cultural missteps. There are far-reaching implications of newly hired leader derailment and turnover: higher recruiting costs, poor decisions, front-line staff and stakeholders losing confidence in the senior leadership team and lost organizational opportunities that go unfulfilled by new executives. 

Join your colleagues and attend our October 18^th meeting to learn how we as consultants and coaches can successfully guide our clients to develop and use an effective leader onboarding process.
