Keeping Your New Job In Tough Times Is Focus of August Experts Connection Session

(I-Newswire) July 31, 2009 - NOVATO, Calif. (July 31, 2009) – Did you know that four out of every 10 new executive hires fail in the first 18 months? In this climate, new executives and their employers can't afford to make mistakes. In the next Experts Connection™ (www.experts-connection.com) teleseminar, "On-Boarding: Successful Leadership Transitions," George Bradt, author of The New Leader's 100 Day Action Plan, will share his secrets for helping Fortune 500 executives become effective corporate leaders from day one. The Experts Connection session is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26, from 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. ET, (1:00 – 2:00 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (www.netshare.com).

Bradt has been working with executives on successful transition strategies for a number of years, and his Experts Connection presentation is geared to executives working as new employees or as newly promoted managers. Bradt's approach focuses on leveraging three ideas for successful onboarding: 1) get a head start; 2) manage the message, and 3) inspire and enable others.

Drawing from his expertise in working with Fortune 500 companies, Bradt will explain:
• How to get a head start on a new job and manage all the stages of onboarding before you even start the job.
• How to manage the messages that will help you succeed before, during and after day one.
• How to inspire others and enable your staff in a manner that creates a high-performing team and promotes your success in 100 days, including:
o Getting buy-in to one burning imperative;
o Investing in early wins to build team confidence;
o Placing the right people in the right support roles, and
o Shaping the culture of the team with an ongoing communication program.

"George has been in the trenches with Fortune 500 executives and seen what works and what doesn't when a new manager takes the reins," said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. "His approach to successful onboarding has proven itself over and over again. Even if you aren't starting a new job, this Experts Connection session will provide valuable insight into what it takes for effective team building and successful leadership."
