In corporate life, we accept that 40% of newly appointed executives fail - we simply accept it as an unavoidable risk.
The financial and professional implications of failed transitions however, are significant for both the individual and the organization.
For the individual, it means their livelihood is threatened and their professional reputation is damaged.
For organizations, failed transitions have financial implications (recruitment costs and performance losses), as well as operational implications (new initiatives), and have a negative impact on for instance, employee engagement and the Employer Value Proposition (EVP).
🎤 In the 37th episode of the Leadership 2.0 podcast, I talk to Navid Nazemian, my brother in arms in the Executive Transition Coaching space, about how organizations can mitigate the risk associated with executive appointments by engaging an executive coach.

• The timeframe of transition coaching
• The structure of transition coaching
