What would it be worth to your organization to have new leaders at all levels become fully productive sooner, even one month earlier? What would it be worth to you as one of those new leaders?
Organizations routinely spend thousands of dollars in recruitment / executive search fees, intent upon finding the perfect candidate. Yet far fewer do enough, if anything, to maximize the return on that investment by thoughtfully planning for a successful transition. Best practice organizations address this issue and create competitive advantage with transition plans designed to quickly and efficiently ramp up new to full productivity.
