The Ropes to Learn and the
Ropes to Skip: Pathways to On-Boarding Success
Dr. Seymour Adler
SVP, Talent Solutions Consulting,
Aon Consulting
It’s estimated that as many
as 70% of new executives leave their positions within the first
three years. How do companies protect their investment and accelerate
time-to-full-productivity of new leaders? We will explore the elements
of onboarding including pre-boarding, potential early derailers,
and the roles and responsibilities of partners in the process. We
will also present the key activities, specific performance milestones
and associated metrics that can be used to determine if the expected
outcomes were achieved. Finally, we will review the key findings
emerging from the literature on organizational socialization and
suggest how empirical findings can be used to inform better practice.
