The Leader's 100 Days Program

The Leader's 100 Days Coaching Program

A new leader’s start in a new role can fail due to, for example, unclear expectations or a mismatch between expectations and reality, or because of pitfalls related to the leader’s own personality. The new leader’s leadership style may also be incompatible with the prevailing corporate culture, the onboarding may be insufficient, or the leader may be impatient to get to know the organization and build trust.

We have created a new coaching program to support leaders who are starting a new position and to ensure their success in their new role in collaboration with the client company. The SAM Leader’s 100 Days coaching program includes both a personal coaching component and a sparring component linked to the leader’s subject matter expertise and the onboarding process carried out in the company.

The SAM Leader’s 100 Days coaching program thus provides support both for personal development and sparring related to the specific position. The program and its duration can be tailored to the needs of the client company.

Compatibility with Corporate Culture – The Key to Successful Leadership

A new leader’s ability to adapt to the company’s culture is crucial for a successful start. A leadership style that does not align with the prevailing culture can lead to conflicts and undermine the organization’s performance. The SAM Leader’s 100 Days coaching program helps the leader identify and adjust their style to match the organization’s expectations and values. This ensures a smooth transition into the new role, enhances interaction with the team, and builds the trust that is essential for long-term success.

”We have now completed projects with SAM and definitely want to continue our collaboration. The projects have been high-quality and well-managed, resulting in successful recruitments. Compared to previous assignments, SAM stood out with their speed and excellent communication. Overall, we are extremely satisfied. SAM has impressively challenged the headhunting field. I have been very positively surprised by how closely and yet qualitatively the headhunting and recruitment process can be managed – we have hired very suitable candidates after SAM’s 6-week process. I did not believe this was possible, but it truly was!”
