    #98 The 1st 90 Days: Leaders Take the Stage, Neill Marshall & Kurt Mosley of Health Search Partners

    Presented by: Endeavor Strategic: Operations | Systems | Talent | AI Host: https://grahampeelle.com About our guest: Neill Marshall and Kurt Mosley https://www.linkedin.com/in/neillmarshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kurt-mosley-01893212/ http://healthsearchpartners.com/ It’s always fascinating to hear how leaders build momentum when stepping into new roles. Having spent nearly three decades guiding hundreds of healthcare executives through their first 90 days, I’ve witnessed firsthand those critical, behind-the-scenes decisions that often make or break a transition. My work with HealthSearch Partners and prior search firms gave me a front-row seat to candid stories from dozens of hospital CEOs and senior executives. These are not theory or consultant talk—they’re gritty, practical tactics new leaders used to set culture and credibility early. Across more than 600 senior placements, the lessons from those unique transitions have been written in scar tissue. ... HealthSearch Partners, a healthcare specialized executive recruitment firm, shares insights on the first 90 days of an outside executive's new assignment, emphasizing the importance of building trust and momentum through intentional, symbolic acts. The impact of these acts and the significance of behavior over words are highlighted, along with the need for patience and listening to the people within the organization. The conversation also touches on the evolving role of technology in executive recruitment and the future plans of HealthSearch Partners. Takeaways Building trust and momentum through intentional, symbolic acts is crucial in the first 90 days of a new executive's assignment.Behavior matters more than words, and leaders must act quickly to learn but move deliberately to change.The impact of small, actionable moves and the importance of earning trust quickly in the first 90 days are key to successful leadership transitions.
