Although there is no guarantee about what onboarding process will work in any given situation, what is certain is that having no onboarding process most often results in leadership wipeouts. In his book, The First 90 Days, Michael Watkins states the blunt truth: “Studies have found that more than 40 to 50 percent of senior outside hires fail to achieve desired results. Estimates of the direct and indirect costs to a company of a failed executive-level transition range as high as $2.7 million.”
Truth be told, transition is a big problem for anyone in the company from the CEO on down. Join Steve Gladis for a discussion about how to successfully achieve your next leadership transition—whether onboarding from the outside or “inboarding” from the talent base in your own company.
