Talent Start Up for New Leaders

©Talent Start Up is an induction solution designed to help ensure the organisation's new leaders and key talent deliver exceptional results with speed and efficiency.

Effective hiring is more than simply finding high caliber talent with the right skills and experience. Focused and tailored integration, including honest feedback and coaching, is crucial to ensure the new leader builds the self-awareness, confidence and flexibility necessary to produce superior results.

The first stage of the program is designed to ensure a thorough understanding of the role, team, and organisation. Based on a series of interviews with key stakeholders, we compile a Start-up Plan which will identify stakeholder expectations, priorities and critical success measures for the new hire's successful integration into the position.

The second stage of the program is designed to accelerate the leader’s integration into the role and company while providing the person with valuable self-awareness, confidence and personal management skills.

This is done through coaching, feedback and development planning, which can be customised to suit the needs of the client. We will also take account of the results of any assessment conducted during the recruitment process. Our standard process includes four 1:1 coaching sessions of up to 2 hours, which will be held face to face or over the phone.

After 30, 60 and 90 days, New Leader Check-ins are conducted against critical success measures and the results fed back to the client to enable effective ongoing support for the new hire.
