An integrated on-boarding coaching process

What is the cost for an executive in a new position who fails and is removed within twelve to eighteen months? For the executive who has been brought in from the outside, the opportunity cost alone is substantial. What wasn't accomplished? Was the organization he or she ran demoralized? What are the costs associated with the search, relocation, severance, and outplacement?

For the executive who has been promoted internally, the costs are different, but just as large. Executives who are promoted and fail usually aren't retained. A body of knowledge about the organization's products, technology, customers, and history is lost. Often, internal employees lose faith that there is a successful development path open to them.

Assimilation Coaching is one of the most effective programs an organization can implement.
