Success Factors and Derailers for Leaders

 

What the Research Shows

Research conducted with over 20 executives shows clearly that:

• There is remarkable agreement on the most important behaviours for success in the first 90 days — regardless of the interviewee’s industry, gender, internal or external role.
• Providing new hires with the "secrets to success" in their first 90 days is critical to enhancing the ROI on recruitment and re-training costs.
• Even exceptional, talented new hires are often unaware that some of their well-intended behaviours are potentially derailing.
