These things I know to be true:

  • 40 percent of new leaders fail in their first 18 months
  • That rate drops to 10 percent for the new leaders helped by PrimeGenesis
  • Three things make for the difference:
    1. Getting a head start
    2. Managing the message
    3. Building the team
  • A critical part of getting a head start is having a 100-day action plan in advance
  • We've got several ways to help people craft their 100-day action plan

These things I do not understand

  • Why new leaders aren't taking even greater advantages of the resources available to help them craft their 100-day action plans
  • Teenagers
