In With the New: Leader Dos and Don’ts
There is an interesting article across on Talent Management covering the issue of a new leader coming into an organisations and the dos and don’ts.
“I think that part of the problem with an understudy taking over from a boss is that sometimes there’s a lack of appreciation of the shift in roles that is required,” said Rick Lash, North American director of the leadership and talent practice at Hay Group. “There’s a lot of excitement around being able to finally move this high performer into a senior-level role, only to sometimes watch them fail or struggle much more than what [was] anticipated.”The article covers five critical pieces of advice to help make the transition a smooth one for a new leader :
1. Don’t step into the old leader’s shoes.
2. Stand up for what you believe in.
3. The great pretender.
4. Listen and learn.
5. Seek advice.
