However, waiting to form your plan means you lose the opportunity to set the right tone from the start by being purposeful, organized, and action oriented.

Is a 100 Day Plan Necessary for Leaders New in Role? Instead of a new coffee mug or new decoration for your Zoom background (or at least, in addition to it), give yourself the gift of preparedness so you make the most of your first months on the job and set yourself up for success. Add to it the complexity of the workplace these days – exhausted teams, workforce shortages, supply chain and business disruption, war for talent, and constantly shifting ways of working and connecting as teams and organizations – being a leader in a new role is even more challenging.įor those talented and brave souls venturing to new roles and opportunities, congratulations.
No matter how many years of experience a person has – even the most senior of leaders – being the “newbie” is daunting for most and hard enough that many avoid taking the new job in the first place. When I dropped my son off at school on his first day of kindergarten, he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait to not be new anymore.” Thinking about the many people changing roles and companies these days, I can’t help but wonder how many may be counting the days until they’re not new anymore, too.
