Would it surprise you to learn that 40% of executive transitions fail during the first 18 months? These can work out to be expensive failures. So, what can L&D do to ensure a more successful transition? In this episode, Navid Nazemian, author of Masting Executive Transitions shares insights and practical steps that organisations can take.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The ripple effect means that every executive transition failure costs about 10 to 30 times their salary.
- Most executives get no extra support or training when they transition.
- The failure rate between internal and external hires is not that different.
- Navigating politics (organizational diplomacy) is a challenge. Providing an honest roadmap helps.
- Someone needs to sit down with the executive and map out the stakeholders in detail.
- Hiring a transition coach is a worthwhile investment.
- Ask each executive what areas they need the most help with.
BEST MOMENTS
'Soft skills are only soft when they are out of context. '
'The theory behind what an executive does is as different as it could possibly be to the actual experience.'
'Less than 10% is spent on making that same hire successful. '
