Making executive onboarding a smooth journey

Some tips on how to onboard senior leaders and executives with relative ease, based on recent experience.
September 30, 2024

At the start of this year, my employer’s previous CEO transitioned into the Executive Chair role, and our current CEO joined. Along with this leadership change, several new executives joined, including the one that now oversees my department. I suddenly had to bring these very senior and experienced C-suite members up to speed on my part of the business.

I’d never been in the position of onboarding my own boss, let alone multiple execs at once. There are lots of online resources and books about onboarding yourself, such as what you should do in your first 30-60-90 days, or how to create onboarding plans for others.
