Bringing in People from Outside


Healthy organizations bring in people from outside, ideally midlevel people, to seed new ideas and energy. But few organizations do a good job of helping outsiders become insiders. As a result, promising people make unnecessary mistakes, often in the spheres of organizational culture and politics.

How do you avoid this? Get them to create their own 90-day acceleration plan. Start by using the ST A RS model to identify the jobs that are appropriate for outside hires. Don t set them up to fail, such as by putting them in a realignment situation without adequate support and advice. Teach them the same transition acceleration vocabulary that insiders speak so they can converse easily about, for example, what is considered a win in your organization. Develop a primer about the company culture, perhaps a video of leaders who have successfully transitioned in from the outside talking about what works and what doesn t.
