Onboarding for managers

How do you start in a new leadership role? In this book, the author presents methods and processes of optimal onboarding that have proven themselves in his numerous leadership roles and in consulting. He shows in a very practical and easy-to-implement way how leaders create strong trust relationships in teams from the very first hour. This leads to high intrinsic motivation in a very short time and is an indispensable prerequisite for high performance and good cooperation. Clear explanations alternate with specific recommendations of action.

A practical work with many tips on how optimal onboarding can be achieved relatively easily, supported by tools, methods, checklists and practical examples.

A valuable guide for young leadership talent facing their first leadership role, whether as a team leader or supervisor, developed from within a team or as a new leader of another team, but also for leaders aspiring to greater leadership responsibility within their own organisation.
