How to get Leadership Transitions Right

Too often leaders are unprepared for and unfortunately unsupported as they transition into new roles. Leadership transitions are tough. 40% of all executive transitions fail in the first 18 months. Leadership transitions are becoming more common and important than ever. By the nature of the role, senior leaders actions or inactions will significantly influence the course of the business. If the transition succeeds, it’s highly probable the company will mirror the same success. Unsuccessful leader transitions result in lower engagement scores, higher attrition rates and poor performance.

Actively work with many executives to ensure they fall within the 60% of success rate, is something we ensure. This includes creating a fit for purpose experience designed to ensure the newly appointed leader hits the ground running so they can thrive in their new role. We continue to work with many executives moving them from intent to action by creating a meaningful 100-day plan. This plan is custom built to help them accomplish their top priorities, as well as take the actions to achieve those top priorities including relevant organizational milestones. It will include early objectives and issues that require urgent attention, as well as long term priorities that are important to the success of the organization and your legacy as an executive leader.
