A Playbook and Blueprint For Successfully Starting a New Job
Finding and getting a new job/role or joining a new company is an exciting opportunity. But how can you be sure to start right and ensure that you can exceed expectations, and how can you as a manager ensure that your new hire is set up for success?
As someone who has coached and advised hundreds of employees seeking new jobs, and managers onboarding new employees, this is a question I get often, especially now amidst all of the people who are making job and career transitions.
From my experience, people who fail or succeed, do so not because of what they do, but because of what they choose not to do — most people understand that to succeed, you need to get off to the right foot, but how do you know what to focus on and what to prioritize, especially when it seems like there is so much to learn and do?
I’ve been studying this question for years, and after talking with hundreds of hiring managers and employees, I’ve come up with 8 lessons that any new job seeker or hiring manager can use to onboard and accelerate impact and performance in starting a new job, along with some ways to put these lessons into action, so you can succeed quickly in a new role.
