Prescription: Get your new team off to a great start by hosting a one-day New Leader/Team facilitation lead by Susanne Gaddis, PhD, CSP and CEO of The Communications Doctor.

New leadership onboarding is not a walk in the park. There are personalities to consider, a company culture to navigate, old habits to break, new ones to make, and new ideas to create.

That's why organizations all across North America choose Dr. Susanne Gaddis to deliver her prescription for success: powerful systems, solutions and synergy-inspiring strategies that bring new leaders and existing teams together to create a laser-focused cohesiveness that allows everyone to hit the ground running.

The unspoken expectation is that the new leader should begin producing results within the first 30 days? So, why do 40% of all leaders fail within two years?

  • Fail to establish a cultural fit.......................... .........75%
