One of the most effective ways for a new leader to get more done in their first 100-days is to get a head start before day one. In particular, this is a great time to jump-start critical relationships and learning while making sure everything is ready for day one. The essential element to all of this is putting a 100-day plan in place as soon as possible after accepting a job and as far as possible in advance of day one.
At a minimum:
- Identify Key Stakeholders
- Craft Your Message
- Manage Your Office Set-up
- Manage Your Personal/Family Set-up
- Conduct Meetings And Phone Calls with key stakeholders before day one
- Deploy An Information Gathering And Learning Plan
- Plan Your First 100-Days
