Key-Learnings

  • Tips for providing early value at your new job being in leadership position
  • The magic of 'visibility' - learn how to make you and your team's progress and achievements more visible such as mission statement, roadmap
  • strategies for defining and achieving impactful objectives

Starting a new leadership role is exciting - but it can also feel like stepping onto a moving train. You're expected to deliver results fast while everything around you is unfamiliar. So how do you build trust, define your objectives, and make an impact without losing your footing? In this talk we'll share our takeaways from our own experiences with transitioning into leadership roles at new companies after years of familiar environments. From the things we did that made things easier to the things we wish we'd done - we'll discuss the strategies that will help you gain early traction and set the foundation for long-term success such as quick wins, using visibility as a superpower, navigating the delicate balance between listening, learning, and leading and arguably most importantly - building resilience into your team. Whether you're stepping into a leadership role for the first time, moving to a new company for the first time or are a seasoned leader who has moved around but would like to refine your approach - this session will provide practical takeaways to help you hit the ground running.
