First 100 Days Wisdom

describe the image

  • Stand in the future you want to create. Take action to realize it from day one.

  • Each step you take to reach your goal is going to create both support and opposition. Take both in stride.

  • Improve your usual ‘statement to question ratio’.

  • Get in physical shape for the rigors of succeeding in your new job.

  • Don’t tackle the most difficult jobs first.

  • You would be wise to get clear about any unwritten rules of the game that might mitigate the going-in mandate.

  • Make an assessment of your current team; you’ll never win with a team of chronic Cs.

 If you have read “Your First 100 Days in a New Executive Job: Powerful First Steps on the Path to Greatness,” it’s now time to put everything you have learned to work.

We noticed in coaching clients on their first 100 days that most tend to have a plan, a list of goals, and various notes from meetings, interviews, and reflections.

We’ve decided to make the job easier for you by providing you with the 100 DAY NOTEBOOK. The Notebook provides a powerful, concise, step-by-step manual for what you should be accomplishing in your first 30, 60, 90 days.

Esentially, it becomes your first 100 days plan and includes: a) abbreviated key concepts, b) practice and reflection assignments, and c) checklists.

We will also provide ample space for you to ponder, brainstorm with your coach and take notes during interviews and key meetings.

  • Have a story ready for day one as key stakeholders look for important signals immediately: Guidelines for crafting your story
  • Getting clear on my going in mandate: What am I empowered to do and not do?
