Getting a new job or a big promotion is like building a house: You
need to get the foundation right for both. With a job, the
quick-drying cement is how well you do in your first hundred days,
since they establish the foundation for long-term momentum and
great performance.
Tom Neff and Jim Citrin are two of the world's leading experts on
leadership and career success. As key figures at Spencer Stuart
(hailed by the Wall Street Journal as the number one brand name in
executive search), they must understand the criteria for success
when they recruit top executives for new leadership positions.
Through compelling, first-hand stories you will hear from people
such as Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE, on how his career has been a
series of successive first hundred days. Larry Summers, president
of Harvard University, talks candidly about what he could have done
differently in his early days to avoid dissipating goodwill among
the diverse constituencies important for his future success. Gary
Kusin of Kinko's shares the specifics of the hundred-day action
plan he crafted for himself before he started his new job. Paul
Pressler of Gap Inc. shows how he developed a general strategic
agenda that established fundamental principles and goals, waiting
to prepare a more detailed strategic plan until later in his
tenure.
Tom Neff and Jim Citrin's actionable eight-point plan will be the
foundation for your success--whether you are moving to a new
organization or being promoted--showing how to:
- Prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally from the
time you accept until the time you begin
- Manage others' expectations of you--bosses, colleagues, and
subordinates
- Shape andbuild the team that will work with you
- Learn the lay of the land and find out how things "really work
around here"
- Communicate your story effectively to people inside and outside
the organization
- Avoid the top ten traps that confront every new leader, such as
disrespecting your predecessor, misreading the true sources of
power in the organization, or succumbing to the "savior syndrome"
When you start a new job you are in what AOL's Jon Miller calls a
"temporary state of incompetence," faced with having to do the most
when you know the least. But with the eight-point plan of "You're
in Charge--Now What? you'll understand and be able to take action
on the patterns that will build your success.
