An introduction to New Leader OnBoarding, and risk-management practices that can lead to success.

1. How Leader OnBoarding
Drives Value

2. Why OnBoarding?
The cost of executive derailment is high.
Even if you hire the perfect candidate, there is no guarantee of
success. Companies struggle to understand why New Leaders
fail, and the cost can be incalculable.
The increase in New Leader job complexity and performance expectations
only raises the stakes. New Leaders intent on delivering results early in
their tenure walk a fine line between success and failure.
Available solutions may be inadequate.
Typically, either a generic company onboarding process or external coaching by someone
who lacks proficiency in this particular area can miss the mark.

8. OnBoarding Tools
Used in conjunction with our consulting
services, Leader OnBoarding Portal is a webbased process-management tool that helps
organizations deliver a customized and
comprehensive OnBoarding system for their New
Leader.
LevelSet: Early Feedback and LevelSet: Internal
Moves are powerful online survey tools that gather
critical information on a New Leader’s
performance. With this insight, the New Leader
can course-correct ineffective behavior before it
leads to derailment.
Developed in partnership with Denison Consulting, Culture Snapshot
is a risk-management tool that helps New Leaders to rapidly
understand the performance climate of their operation. Armed with this
information, they can identify performance challenges and target the
right actions.
