The first 100 days as a new leader: What to do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The first 100 days of a new leader have five focal points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Personal introduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Getting to know the team and taking stock of the processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Getting to know and managing expectations of colleagues<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Team workshop<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Initiate change and celebrate success<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Let's look at the first four points in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Convince as a person<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personal introduction as a new manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Of course, you start the first 100 days as a leader with a personal introduction and explanatory words about your role. You should answer the following questions in this introduction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Person and expertise\n
\n
Who am I?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What did I do before?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Motivation\n
\n
Why am I here?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What attracted me to take on this responsibility?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
To make yourself more tangible as a person, you should say something about yourself and your understanding of your role:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Person and role\n
\n
What makes me tick as a person and as a leader?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What are my strengths?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What quirks do I have?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What do I need so that I can work with you in confidence?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What are things that I do not tolerate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What do I understand by my role?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What tasks are involved?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Which tasks are not included?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Then initiate the dialogue and ask for your team's expectations. Depending on the team, the really important wishes and expectations may not be expressed directly. Especially teams that have not lived an open communication culture so far find it difficult to do so. Be patient and keep asking questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Initiate dialogue \/ enquire about expectations\n
\n
How does that sound to you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What questions have arisen from this?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What expectations and wishes do you have of me?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What do you think I should do most urgently in the first 100 days? Why?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Next steps\n
\n
What will I focus on in the coming days and weeks?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Why am I doing this?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
What will be a next milestone as a team (e.g. a workshop)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
