Normalising on-boarding support for leaders with Professor Michael Watkins
I talk with Michael Watkins, author of the leadership classic The First 90 Days: Proven Strategies for Getting Up To Speed Faster and Smarter and co-founder of Genesis Advisers https://www.genesisadvisers.com who has dedicated his career to helping leaders get off to great starts. Points we covered
•Why transition or on-boarding support is still not the norm despite it being a “no brainer” from a ROI standpoint (@2.25)
•Why it can be hard to ask for support given “Darwinian Evolution” bias (@7.22), and the need to re-frame transition support as embodying huge acceleration benefits as opposed to compensating for weakness (@8.48)
•Why he prefers to coach CEOs proactively versus reactively given “rescue missions” are fated by confirmation bias to rarely end well (@9.38).
