According to Dan Ciampa and Michael Watkins, in
Right from the Start
(Harvard Business School Press, 1999), 64% of new executives hired from
outside the company will fail in their new jobs. Assessment-based, structured
Coaching for your newly promoted or newly hired executive will increase the
probability of their success and their ability to have an immediate, positive
impact on business results. Let LeadFirst protect your company's investment in
new hires and support newly promoted executives with its

Objectives of Executive Onboarding™:
- Immediately identify the client-executive's underlying personality traits that will promote or inhibit swift adaptation to the new operating environment.
