Best practice


Use Best Practice to become the best leader you can be in a new role in 100 days.

  1. Day 1

    Prepare

    Start by being Prepared! Most people work to get a new role but then do very little before starting. Why start something so important without preparing properly for it?

  2. Day 14

    Position

    You never get a second chance to make that first impression. Make it count. Plan your time. Have things straight in your head. Do the smart things. Use your first 14 days as wisely as possible!

  3. Day 45

    Unite

    Come together with your team. Understand them, their challenges, the team’s strengths and weaknesses. Set targets for short-term results that will cement your role as the leader of the team.

  4. Day 70

    Results

    Achieving short-term results is the best way to ensure success. The team comes together. You shine. Your boss and peers see that you deliver. You prove that you are right for the role!

  5. Day 100

    Expand

    With concrete success already demonstrated, you can expand your scope. Look further. Raise the ambition level. Tackle more complication.
