Professional separation, application process and integration
Socketing, integrating, benefiting
When dealing with predecessors, one must distinguish 3 scenarios:
A. The predecessor is no longer with the company and contact on your own is not recommended. The information about the handover is obtained from the superior or from the new employees and colleagues.
B. The predecessor is currently still in charge of the department and will leave the company after a short transition period. If necessary, he is still available in the home office with further information. The separation between the company and the predecessor has been settled amicably.
C. The predecessor is a member of the company's hiring committee. With the ideas about changes, a lot of diplomacy and appropriate preparation with the NewPlacement-Coach is important. The predecessor may remain connected to the company for a longer period of time with "advice and support" and will keep an eye on the development of his previous area. It is important to note that the predecessor remains strongly networked informally.
When contacting the predecessor, appreciative questioning has proven its worth. If necessary, one must have the patience to allow the transition to take longer.
