Launching New Leaders
On-boarding and/or transitioning through the “Leadership Pipeline”
Launching New Leaders supports leaders in new roles during the critical first months on the job, when up to 40% of executives fail. On-boarding coaching helps new executives navigate derailers and transition challenges including:
- Understanding and operating successfully within organizational dynamics
- Building strong relationships across departments, functions, and teams
- Working at the right pace—making a positive impact right away without attempting too much too soon
- Managing personal transitions along with new work responsibilities

The vanguard of the baby boom turned 60 last year, generating speculation about how such retirements will affect the U.S. economy.
For corporate America, however, the most significant impact may be internal. As baby boomers vacate jobs in middle management and the executive suite, they will leave a leadership vacuum younger workers aren’t ready to fill.
According to the 2007 Aging U.S. Workforce Survey, released last month by Ernst & Young, 68 percent of Fortune 1000 companies consider “maintaining intellectual capital” to be their greatest organizational risk, and 62 percent said retirements will create a “brain drain” within their organizations.
