How to Hit the Ground Running as a New HR Leader From Day One…

by Alan Collins

Today, I’m formally releasing a new FREE little e-book that I wrote a few weeks ago.  It’s called  “You’re The New HR Leader – Now What?”

This short guide is a quick read at 20 pages and it gives you quick tips on how to hit the ground running in your first 30 days in ANY new HR leadership role.

The reason I wrote it was simple.  When you move into a new HR leader role in many organizations,  you are often asked to “sink or swim” with very little support.   Well, this little guide gives you a paddle.

You can download it in the next few seconds by clicking HERE.

But first a caution:  The information in this e-book isn’t for everyone.   As the title says, it’s ideal for you if you’re in a brand new HR leadership role…at any level…from HR manager to HR VP…and you have at least a couple of HR direct reports…and clients you want to keep happy.

Here’s why you might want to grab this baby…now…

Moving into a new HR leadership role is THE #1 challenge any HR professional can face….no matter how much Human Resources experience you have!

According to HR Executive, 50% of new HR leaders fall flat on their face in their first 18 months.   Moving into a new culture, taking charge of new people, and deciding how to best make your mark are your biggest hurdles as the new kid on the block.

And more importantly, the first 30 days is critical.  If you screw up during this period, it’s extremely difficult to recover.

I truly hope this e-book can help you if you’re in this situation.  If not, you may want to file this away until you change jobs.

If this e-book helps you, I have two simple requests:

1.  Help spread the word. e-mail the link on to others in your HR network that you feel could benefit from it.

2.  Let me know what you think. Leave a comment below by clicking HERE, I’d love to hear what you think.

Have a great week!   More great stuff to come.  Enjoy!

    Hi Alan,

    This is a definite 10 out of 10.

    I haven’t read the book but I am so looking forward in reading it. It came on the right time for me as I am staring on my new job and role as the HR Leader for Sub-Saharan Africa.

    Let me read and I will certainly give you my feedback.

    Cheers,

    Luyolo
