Simplified Weekly | How to Make Your New Hire a High Flyer
Read This On:
My commitment is to make the entrepreneurial journey simpler for you, week by week.
This Week’s Focus: Set the stage for new hire success in 30 days.
The Core Concept: A great onboarding plan does three things:
- SHOW THEM THEY BELONG – Make it about your office community first, not the job (yet).
- EQUIP THEM FOR THE JOB – Give them the best tools to get the job done. It shows you care about their success… because you do.
- THEIR VISION & YOUR VISION– Share your vision and learn theirs. When you value their dreams, they will value yours.
Do This: Map out a 30-day success plan. Day 1 is a celebration to show they belong. Week 1-3 is helping them get comfortable with the tools of your trade. Week 4 is understanding their personal vision, and collectively setting the vision for success with you.
Not That: Don’t throw new hires into the deep end and expect them to “figure it out.” Confusion kills engagement.
Dig Deeper:
- Clockwork: Read Chapter 7, pages 116-128, on designing repeatable systems that support employees.
- All In: Flip to Chapter 7, pages 124-147, to master retention from Day One.
- The Pumpkin Plan: See Chapter 9 on empowering employees to take ownership.
The Final Thought: Richard Branson once said, “Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don’t want to.”
