Job Title

Over 50% of new leaders fail to meet or exceed expectations within the first 18 months of their assignment because they fail to successfully leverage their first three months on the job (Watkins, M. The First 90 Days).
New leaders are burdened by high expectations for success based on achievements in previous roles, but they often do not have the right information to perform well in their new positions.
They often attempt to make drastic changes or a major immediate impact without fully understanding the corporate landscape, causing them to alienate their team and flounder with key stakeholders.
