Whether they move into the role from within your company or are recruited from outside, executives new to their positions face a daunting challenge. They must quickly get a handle on the key issues and opportunities to address, while at the same time assess the capabilities of their teams and organizations. In addition, they need to learn what works and what doesn't in the culture, what to keep and what to change from the past, how to build the support of peers, direct reports and other stakeholders, and develop a mutually productive relationship with their boss. The timeframe to achieve all this continues to decrease. . . one misstep can be disastrous.
