For Leaders Who are Taking on a New Role

When you are hired into a new role, it’s critical for you, and for the organization, that you hit the ground running. This custom-tailored program is unique because it assists you as a new leader, and the team you’re inheriting, making sure you all get up and running as a high-performing team faster, and more comfortably than they ever would on your own.

The Workshop Overview

To build a strong foundation for new leadership we emphasize relationship building. We help you—as a new team leader— get to know the your team, each individual, as well as any existing issues and obstacles you need to know about.

The team members will also become familiar with you, quickly understanding those idiosyncrasies that can take months to learn without the Accelerating Success Program. We use a coach approach to draw out concerns and expectations, followed by a carefully facilitated workshop to bring it all together.

The objective is to minimize disruption and maximize success for you in your new leadership role. Our process helps you jump into your new role managing a team, with a focus on getting yourself and the new team through that difficult transition, quickly, and ready to deliver critical success.

What Participants Learn

This custom-tailored program is unique because it assists you and the team you’re inheriting, making sure you all get up and running as a high-performing team faster, and more comfortably than you ever would on your own.

This is a highly customized consultative program. Outcomes vary based on what you and the group identify as your priorities. However, there are two constants during the offsite: 

  • The team addresses issues and develops a plan to capitalize on opportunities, and strategies to manage problems.
  • The team discovers how to navigate tough conversations, communicate effectively, and manage conflict.

A Coach Approach to Leadership

Accelerating Success Program is designed to facilitate a new leader’s success as well as motivate and inspire the new team to excel.

Getting to know the team, their new leader, and challenges the team faces

The Accelerating Success Program uses a coach approach to learning, beginning with one-to-one coached interviews of each team member, the new leader, and their direct reports.

Interview questions are designed to inspire discussion around issues that need to be shared and explored between team members and yourself. Our customized questions focus on anticipated issues, and our coaches challenge each participant to offer deeper answers throughout the one-on-one interview.

You are then debriefed about what was shared, without betraying the confidentiality of our interviewees. Bringing the issues forward for you to consider and present your observations.

 

Acknowledge the issues, engage in difficult conversations, and make a plan of action

Based on your observations, we lead a customized Accelerating Success workshop for the team, with a focus on how to have difficult conversations, while addressing previously unspoken issues, and developing action plans to address the challenges going forward.

You then have the opportunity to speak about personal goals, your vision for the team, previous experience, your first impression of the team and your reasons for accepting the role. We coach you to help ensure observations are delivered in an honest, open and positive way.

The team learns to have difficult conversations early in their relationship with you, and is encouraged to continue share concerns as they arise, and are supported to find their own solutions to the challenges.
