Are You Setting New Leaders Up for Success or Failure?

The Center for Creative Leadership suggests that 40% of transitioning leaders fail in their first 18 months. And that failure is costly – in terms of time, money, effort – and you’ll have to start over again to replace this failed leader.

The Challenge: It’s a New Game!
Leaders who have been hired from the outside must adapt to a new organizational culture and quickly build internal partnerships and networks. For those who have been promoted, the challenge is to develop competencies required at the new level and let go of those that will no longer serve.

The Solution: Strong Start Coaching
A powerful leadership development tool that quickly gets newly hired or newly promoted leaders on the right path and makes sure they don’t get side tracked in leading their teams, departments and organizations. We help them through leadership assessment, interviews with direct reports and even customers to quickly build their team,  meet performance expectations and most important avoid costly mistakes.  Get new leaders up to speed fast and productive with short-term coaching that will:

• Identify and build on their strengths and skills to get off to a great start.
• Quickly address “style” and other issues that get in the way of their success.
• Increase their confidence, competence and commitment to the organization.
• Bring added value to the leadership development training they have experienced.
• Develop, maintain and leverage their relationships with staff, peers, bosses and other stakeholders.
