      Introduction

      Externally recruited Senior Hires are an expensive investment! Their high potential must be transitioned into high performance QUICKLY so they become Star contributors to the organisation! How can this be accelerated? This book will show you how this can be achieved through Targeted Transitional Coaching (TTC), focusing upon the Six Big Tasks that confront all Senior Hires.

      Figure 1: Performance-Potential Model

      Why is this an important subject? First, external Senior Hires constitute 30% of all transitions within executive ranks over a typical year but their failure rate is high. The Centre for Creative Leadership estimates that 38% of new hire executives face outright failure in the first 18 months of their tenure. The result? A tangible financial loss of up to five times that employee’s salary (including search fees, wasted training, wasted interview time, productivity loss from disruption and negative morale) and the intangible opportunity costs for the business resulting from picking the wrong candidate! Second, the expense incurred through delayed performance from those that eventually succeed can negatively impact short-term momentum. Egon Zehnder research in 2017 (588 executives recently hired at VP level) found that 60% of Senior Hires said that it took them at least six months – with 20% citing more than nine months – to have a full impact on their new roles. Typically organisations want an ROI from their Senior Hires within the first 100 days, rather than waiting 6 to 9 months for some meaningful impact. After all, the motivation behind selecting the candidate in the first place (whether due to replacement, regeneration or reinvigoration) will have been heavily influenced by the belief that they could make an immediate, tangible difference.

      What are the reasons for the outright failure or delayed performance of Senior Hires? Based on our combined senior operating experience of over fifty years, we would pinpoint seven main reasons:

      o Cultural Mismatch – a failure to move from ‘outsider’ to ‘insider’ status through understanding, respecting or ‘fitting’ in with the norms,
