Assimilation Coaching

You just offered a position to a candidate and he accepted. Now what? You know the team he is inheriting is dysfunctional at best. To make matters more difficult, his new peer group has a history of not welcoming newcomers with open arms. Moreover, his new manager has a history of run-ins with the new hire's predecessor. You know the statistics - the rate of executive failures can run as high as 50%. Thus, it is critical that the new hire make a strong first impression and hit the ground running. What can you do to help?

Solution:

Assimilation Coaching entails one-on-one, ongoing coaching with an EDI coach for the purpose of enhancing the speed and effectiveness of an executive's transition into a new position, team or organization.

Building rapport with new peers, managers, and direct reports

Setting expectations and establishing a process for accountability
Building relevant and focused teams
