Your First 100 Days

Overview

The first 100 days in a new role are generally regarded as amongst the most important in your career. This critical initial phase is not just about making a good first impression. The learning and insights gained, how they are gained and how they inform early decision-making are key issues that many recognise but relatively few address effectively.

The pace and scrutiny of corporate leadership today calls for accelerated transition into new roles. This course focuses on the how effective marketing leaders take advantage of their first three months in a new role. How do some leaders seem to have time to meet with everyone and digest vast quantities of data and information? How do some leaders develop the ability to ask the key strategic questions when they have only been in a role a few days? How can you be comfortable making leadership decisions when you’ve only just taken on a new role? What are the big pitfalls to avoid when starting a new role? Why marketers are better equipped to optimise their first 100 days in a new leadership role.
