👋 Hello everyone,
Amber Hyatt said, "Good onboarding is like a warm welcome – it lets the new employee know that they belong."
Here are a few resources you might have missed:
📚 Book Summary:
This week's book is "The Great CEO Within" by Matt Mochary
The author is the most successful CEO coach from Silicon Valley, and he shares all his insights in this book. From energy audit and inbox zero, to hiring and firing, team meetings scripts, and selling and marketing. Mochary's practical advice is designed to help leaders at all levels enhance their performance.
One of my favorite takeaways from the book is this:
"Many of the people you are spending time with during recruiting will not become team members, whereas 100 percent of the people you spend time with during onboarding are already team members. Focus your energy there!"
✅ Actionable advice:
Also from the book: Write a checklist of all the information a team member would need to be fully effective. Write all this information down. Share this checklist and the ninety-day roadmap with each new team member as soon as possible, even before they begin. The key thing to remember in onboarding is to give it just as much if not more, time than the recruiting process. This is worth repeating: many of the people in the recruiting process will never work at the company, while everybody in the onboarding process will.
Have a great week!
