No one cares about you. What they care about are the results that you and your team deliver. This is why Better Results Faster is such an important pivot point.
100-day Action Plans
People that prepare and implement 100-day action plans deliver Better Results Faster than those that do not. It is easy to see why. Preparation breeds confidence. Clarity of message makes it easier for others to follow the leader. Follow through makes things real. Doing all those within a 100-day action framework simply works better.
Reduce the rate of onboarding failure
Things that work better deliver better results. Better results are better. Better Results Faster are even better still. Better Results Faster reduce the rate of failure. 40% of new leaders fail in their first 18 months. Yet 90% of the newly hired, promoted, or restarting leaders we have helped prepare and implement 100-day action plans since 2003 were still in place or promoted at 18 months.
Better results faster
Given all this, I am always amazed when I see a new leader not preparing in advance, not managing their message, not implementing a 100-day action plan. And I am amazed when their boss does not push them to do that.
But not you. If you have read this far, you will prepare and implement 100-day action plans the next time you move into a new job, and you will push your employees and teammates to do the same. You will not do this because anyone cares about you. You will do this because it is a great way for you and your team to deliver Better Results Faster. And they do care about that.
