PremiumPlacement for Executive and C-Level
"Fear of Change"

No hiring is watched as closely in the employee circle as the new entry of Executive and C-Level. On the one hand, the new executives want to set an early example for owners, boards, etc., and reinforce certainty in these ranks about the hiring decision. On the other hand, the employee group is afraid of changes that might overwhelm them personally or even affect their jobs. In this context, the inaugural speech, which is developed together with the NewPlacement coach, plays an important role. However, this must then be followed by corresponding actions.
As part of "job insurance", we repeatedly warn our candidates against micromanagement, which unsettles employees, demotivates them and increases their fears. Within the first week, the manager should take enough time to get to know colleagues and the next reporting levels (top down). In this process, monologues are detrimental. That's why we have established a 5:55 rule of listening for 55 minutes per hour and taking notes in the 4/5 split.
In doing so, attention is paid above all to informal lines within and outside the company, especially to the owner family, committees or decision-makers in the holding company. The principle of "learn first, teach later" motivates all those involved to transfer the necessary knowledge. In general, constant contact with the NewPlacement coach should be maintained during the fragile phase of onboarding.
