The challenge:

The first 100 days for a new leader are crucial.

In this period the image of the leader is created and the integration and impact the leader will have is given its foundation. This first 100 days may break or break a person in a new role.

“Few companies develop a systematic ‘on-boarding’ process for their new leaders, even though this is a critical function with major organizational implications” Goli Darabi, Senior Vice President, Corporate Leadership & Succession Management, Fidelity Investments

During this time the person needs to:

• Make a powerful first impression
• Match their style to the business context, culture and politics
• Develop and start a strategic change aligned with the business needs
• Communicate effectively with key stakeholders
• Build up an effective team around them
• Ensure that quick wins occur so that credibility is increased
• Create a strong support network in the organisation that goes beyond the current team.
