People are being forced to transition during our economic downturn. For others, they are discontent with their current job, and voluntarily choosing a job transition.
What can you do to promise a more successful transition? Here are the top ten lessons I have personally learned and learned from others along the way:
- Learn the organization: the culture, the values, the processes, the politics, the people.
- Be patient and do not exceed the speed limit, but do not move to slowly.
- Prioritize your to-do and to-know list.
- Construct a strategic plan to include a clear vision and communicate it frequently.
- Build a healthy team to include both current team members and those possibly outside the organization.
- Establish what needs to happen right now that is foundational for future construction.
- Secure early wins to generate momentum and establish credibility.
- Build alliances with other team members who can help be a voice for your plan.
- Enter with sustained humility.
- Add value to what other team members are currently doing.
What would you add to this list?
