There is increasing interest in accelerating executive onboarding and ensuring that new managers are able to hit the ground running with their new teams, within the first 90 days or sooner. In this interactive discussion, we will explore how a "user's manual," a document that an executive creates describing his or her managerial expectations, style, and preferences, can greatly assist the team in quickly getting to know the new manager better. We will examine possible sources of information for this document, as well as a strategy for updating and improving it on an ongoing basis as one progresses through one's career.

As a result of this session, participants will:

• Gain familiarity with the "managerial user's manual" tool and how it can be used as a successful part of onboarding into a new role or organization
• Learn how to write their own "user's manual" based on feedback and reflection
• Develop familiarity with the kinds of questions that their new teams are likely to have about them and their motivators and style

Maximizing the Value of the Webinar

• Invite others to participate. Structure a group "lunch and learn" session and invite other colleagues to attend.
• Debrief the lessons learned. Set aside time at the end of the Webinar to discuss takeaways, and how they apply to your group or organization
• Tap into your training budget. Ask your HR group or manager to underwrite the Webinar as part of your organization's ongoing staff development effort.
