“6 Ways to Achieve a 90 Day Acceleration Plan”
1. Promote Yourself: Pick a specific time (weekend) and use it to imagine yourself in your new position. Celebrate your move! Do whatever it takes to get into a transition state of mind!
2. Accelerate Your Learning: Re-learn how to learn. Achievers are not used to failure and may resort to denial, defensiveness or blaming others if not careful. Are you using skills that made you successful in the old job rather than using what’s required in the new job? Tactical vs. strategic? Doing it yourself rather than delegating because it’s comfortable and makes you feel in control?
3. Match Strategy to Situation: Is it a startup, turnaround, realignment , sustaining success or mixture? Should your early focus be offense or defense?
4. Secure Early Wins: Excites, energizes people and creates credibility! Avoid: Failing to focus and prioritize, not adjusting to culture, failure to get wins that matter to the boss AND failure to DOCUMENT SUCCESSES.
