New Leader Assimilation
New Leader Assimilation is a simple, yet powerful process
which helps
integrate a new leader into an established organization.
Goals:
- Help acquaint the leader, the leader’s vision,
expectations, wants, and style with team members.
- Smooth the assimilation of the new leader to ensure a
reasonable
level of productivity.
- Create an understanding of how the organization prefers to
work together, prefers to be managed, and what is expected of both the
leader and members.
Outcomes:
- Listed agreements for the leader and group.
- Contract for working potential problems.
- Common set of expectations
Format:
Typical format includes the following, but is not open and
flexible to the needs of the Leader and the members. We discuss
why we are
here and what we want to accomplish. Both the leader and the existing
group
convey their thoughts about the development of this new relationship,
focusing
on their:
- Wants- This is an expression of what the leader and the
group want to learn about each other.
- Concerns - This is both a short and long term view of what
might
become a problem if we don't work on them now.
- Expectations - This is a short and realistic view of what
has to
happen for us to successfully work together.
In each of these areas, some of the informational categories which
guide the discussion may include:
- General
- Personal
- Problem solving and decision making approaches
- Leadership style
- Communication preference
- Preferred style to be personally managed
- Level of responsibility/ authority
