New Leader Assimilation
When a new leader joins a team or a company, his/her direct reports have
understandable concerns regarding the new leader's expectations,
management style, ideas, and perceptions. These concerns need to be
addressed and clarified in order to get the new leader off to a good start
and to allay any apprehension that may exist among team members. By
surfacing issues early and discussing them openly, development of a strong
positive working relationship between the new leader and the team can be
accelerated.
PSP's New Leader Assimilation process brings the new leader up to speed
quickly, promotes team spirit, reduces apprehension, and establishes a
two-way flow of communication between the new leader and his/her team.
The process is facilitated by PSP psychologists who have extensive
experience in executive/management team building and new manager
on-boarding.
The PSP New Leader Assimilation process provides a safe and controlled
forum for rapid orientation and familiarization of team leader with team
members. The process, ideally undertaken during the first two weeks of
the new leader's assignment, enables all parties to "hit the ground running."
The New Leader Assimilation process prepares the team to get to moving on
the business objectives, challenges, and issues that really matter, rather than
to get bogged down with worries and concerns about what the new boss will
be like.
New Leader Assimilation can be used effectively by all levels of managers from
first line management to senior executive. Employees who participate in New
Leader Assimilation appreciate the chance to share their concerns at this critical
time of transition. New leaders who participate in the process appreciate the
efficient use of time to build momentum and esprit de corps.
For more information on New Leader Assimilation and how the process can be
customized for your company, please contact a PSP industrial psychologist.
