Nearly 40 Percent of Executives Leave Their Jobs in the First 18 Months.
An in-depth podcast with George Bradt, co-author of The New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan: How to Take Charge, Build Your Team, And Get Immediate Results
 George Bradt
I met George at the Harvard Club in New York. He was the featured speaker at a breakfast meeting sponsored by Mullin & Associates - the room was filled with senior-level human resource executives and recruiters. If you don't work in HR or recruiting, you may never have heard the term "onboarding." Believe me, everyone at this breakfast knows the term, and the implications all too well. This early morning crowd of HR pros and recruiters were far more interested in what George Bradt had to say than the bagels on the buffet table.
Here's how Wikipedia defines onboarding:
Onboarding is the process of interviewing, hiring, orienting and
successfully integrating new hires into the organization's culture. The
best onboarding strategies will provide a fast track to meaningful,
productive work and strong employee relationships. Onboarding
activities begin pre-hire through effective and accurate recruitment
communications, followed by an interviewing and screening process that
increases the success rate of position acceptance. The orientation of
new hires starts prior to the employee's start date and usually is
extended through (at least) the first 6 months of employment.
Onboarding is applicable to promotional opportunities within
organizations, and strategies implemented to promote and orient company
veterans to new roles follow the same time-line.
George and his PrimeGenesis team have found there is a huge difference
between the leader who has a plan, hits the ground running, and makes
an impact on his first day on the job, and the executive who walks
through the door, expecting a plan to be in place. Good luck with that
concept. The New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan is really a workbook,
with detailed, step-by-step action plans to guide you through the first
100 days in a new job. Obviously, this book is written for executives
in leadership roles, but I think any professional can benefit from
using the PrimeGenesis methodology - and knowing the difference between
onboarding and "employee orientation." If your starting a new job and
onboarding has not been part of the process, buy this book and onboard
yourself!

Escaping a Toxic Job... It Can Be Done!
Escape, and reinvent yourself at the same time! In part two of our interview with Beth Ross, Executive Career Coach, Beth gives us some specific steps for moving from the job from hell to a career in the non-profit world.
 Beth and I discussed in part one of our Career Transitions podcast, that positioning yourself for a career transition is essential. It's a job in itself. I asked her to give us some advice for a good friend of mine who is in a dead-end job with a new boss that's right from central casting hell. From what I can tell, my friend is the only functioning part of a totally dysfunctional organization. Fortunately, she does have excellent medical benefits. Given the high level of stress and long hours she feels obligated to work, she needs them.
Beth Ross is a frequent speaker on job Search and career transition topics and conducts career Workshops for organizations. In addition to being an Executive Career Coach, Beth Ross is also an executive career search professional with over twenty years experience, including time with prominent national retained executive search firms. Since 1989, she has been a sole proprietor.
