The Pain
Lack of knowledge results in:
- Decisions counter to company strategic vision and direction
- Inability to navigate through the culture
- Distorted understanding of environmental influences
- Myopic view of organization's competitive position
Lack of key relationships result in:
- Limited clarity about role and performance expectations
- Disconnection from the larger organization
- Barriers to team's and function's goals
- Reduced access to key resources and organizational information
- Weaker influence
Lack of feedback results in:
- No "snapshot" of the new leader's behavior with objective data
- Execution of a 90-day plan with no course correction
- Single, not global, perspective of performance
- Multi-directional efforts toward the same goal
