Engaging before day one is an important idea. Our first book "The New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan" drives three core ideas.
GET A HEAD START BEFORE THE START. Day one is a critical pivot point for people joining from outside the company. The same is true for the formal announcement of someone getting promoted from within. In both situations, you can accelerate progress by getting a head start and hitting the ground running or by helping the people you're onboarding do the same. A little early momentum goes a long way.
TAKE CONTROL OF THE MESSAGE. Everything communicates. People read things into everything you say and do, and everything you don't say and don't do. Thus you're far better off choosing and controlling what they see and hear, and when they see and hear it, than letting others make those choices for you, or letting them happen by chance.
HELP OTHERS SUCCEED. For new leaders, this involves building a high-performing team. The first 100 days are the best time to put in place the basic building blocks of a high-preforming team.
