During the first few months all formal decisions, informal behaviour and symbolic acts will be closely scrutinized by the organisation and the key stakeholders. Everything the new executive will do and say will send messages, set tone, establish expectations and communicate direction to the organisation about what is of priority to them. Executive Integration coaching will help the executive understand how the style and experiences that propelled them to success in one environment can prove a recipe for disaster in another if not carefully managed. It will also help them get the support they need during this critical time resulting in all stakeholders experiencing superior rates of return on the placement, improved retention and gain a much improved chance of success.
While the first 100 days represent a unique window of opportunity, they also hold the potential of the executive being easily misunderstood. How quickly the executive moves may have their peers categorising their management style as either rash, purposeful, or indecisive. Whom they consult with, on their first decisions, will feed the notion that they’re inclusive, authoritarian, or even playing favourites. People may rush to label the executive as fair or arbitrary; a visionary or a cautious bureaucrat. Some may even be looking to test their authority.
The executive’s initial decisions will shape perceptions of them that may last for years. In addition, the breakneck speed at which everything moves today will allow them little time to ease into their new role. The key to the new executive’s success is to approach this crucial time in a systematic way.
The Executive Integration coaching programme is devised around the new executive and their coach meeting for a one hour coaching session every week for the first twelve weeks. They will go through a structured programme of addressing and working through the key components of transitioning into the organisation and ensuring that the key performance outcomes are met. The programme is designed to ensure the new executive and the organisation are aligned as they strive to achieve objectives.
