      INTRODUCTION

      The purpose of this book is to provide you with insights, skills and confidence to navigate a successful job transition, ideally within the first 90 days.

      This book is divided into four parts, the first section provides insight into two scenarios; an unsuccessful and a successful transition. The second section looks at potential barriers and how to overcome them. The third section presents an in-depth discussion of the factors you should consider during your first 90 days. The final section looks at some of the assumptions which may influence your transition and how to leverage them to facilitate a successful integration into your new job.

      As you move through the chapters you will observe the unfolding of our intentional transition strategy.

      PART A

      Chapter 1

      SINK OR SWIM

      Karen Rose is an ambitious thirty something with extensive experience in the financial services sector. She is keen to move ahead in her career and dreams of becoming a chief operating officer of a Fortune 500 company before she turns forty-five. She has been working for the same employer for over five years and discontented with the progress she is making towards her professional goal. After months of thought and reflection Karen decides to apply for a job posted online. She feels the job is an excellent match for her skills, experience and an ideal stepping stone to her dream job. To her excitement, she is shortlisted for an interview and shortly thereafter receives the call she is waiting for - she is the candidate of choice.

      Karen is ecstatic and cannot wait for the day to come to start her new job. She dreams about where she will sit, the interactions she will have with her colleagues and the impact she will make on the performance of the company. From Karen’s perspective, the future looks bright.

      Within the first week of starting her new job, Karen’s enthusiasm begins to turn to apprehension. She feels unwelcome and on some days a little bored. Karen is of the view no prior arrangements were made to support her or integrate her into the new job or the company. For example, after two reminders the announcement of her arrival is still not forthcoming. In addition, after three days her telephone is still not connected and now in her second week she is still unable to access the company’s network. By the end of the second week she feels frustrated and wonders if she made the right decision to move to the new company.

      Moving into the third week Karen knows she must make several decisions. Should she wait for others to create opportunities for her to succeed? Should she throw in the towel and find another job? Alternatively, she could facilitate her progress by playing a proactive role in her transition to the new job.

      Many of you reading this book have experienced this situation or know someone who has. The early weeks are critical in an employee’s transition and integration into a new job. You could equate this scenario to a plant being uprooted from one location in which it was well established and replanted into another. If the conditions in which the plant is relocated are not similar to, or better than its previous environment, there is every chance it will not survive and even if it does it will not reach its full potential. The same can be said when individuals transition from one job to the next. This might be within the same company or a move to another company. The new environment must be equipped to enable you to excel - otherwise there is every chance you will not effectively integrate into the new company and even if you do, it is likely to take longer than necessary.

      Taking account of the fact a decision will be made about your ongoing employment during the first 90 days; a substandard transition is likely to put your employment at risk. This risk can be eliminated by pursuing the intentional transition strategy outlined in this book.

      CHAPTER 2
