Take Charge of Your New Role After a Promotion
Take Charge of Your New Role After a Promotion
Moving up the ladder in an organization usually means greater rewards, more responsibilities, and higher stakes. But transitioning into a bigger role can be challenging. It is more challenging when you take over a new company. Typically, the more senior the role, the less structured the onboarding process, which can feel disorienting.
The key is to take responsibility for it yourself. This doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help or accept support. But you should be prepared to get up to speed as independently as possible. Start by answering these questions:
- What do I need to do in the first week? The first 30 days? The first quarter? The first 100 days
- Who do I need to meet, and what’s the best way to connect with them?
- What don’t I know – and what will I be expected to know?
- If I find myself struggling, how will I ask for help or guidance?
