Attention: New Human Resources Managers, Directors and VP’s:
At last, Get The PROVEN ROADMAP That Will Enable You Take Charge, Hit The Ground Running From Day One, Up Your Impact and Prove Yourself Faster!  

Congratulations!  You’re the new HR leader.  Now what?  

Well, for one, it’s time to GAIN RESPECT and PROVE YOURSELF.

  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and hit the ground running.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and establish yourself in the organization.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and proactively close any knowledge gaps.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and learn the organization and the culture,
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and navigate the politics.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and wow your clients.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG, lead and build trust with your direct reports.
  • YOU are expected to START STRONG and deliver the results you were hired to provide.

You CANNOT rely on your boss or the organization to take charge and do ALL this for you.  Sure, they can provide some resources, guidance and they will. But they’re busy too and don’t have time to hold your hand.

So let’s face reality…

This is ALL on YOU!  

Why?  Because they brought you aboard to be a LEADER and that’s what you’re being PAID to do!

But you know all this already.  So, let me hit you with one more fact you may not be aware of…

According to SHRM, 31% of all new HR leaders FAIL within their first 18-24 months, primarily because they didn’t effectively take charge when they first started their new role. And even those HR leaders that DO succeed massively will tell you that their success is determined primarily by what they accomplish in their crucial first 100 days when they first started.

Can failure happen to you?  Of course it can, if you don’t have a game plan for success, starting on day one.

However, relax, you got this.

The New HR Leader’s First 100 Days, is your ROADMAP.

Now you can take charge with confidence.  Hit the ground running from day one.  Gain respect, up your impact and prove yourself faster.

This book specifically provides…

15 PROVEN RULES followed by the most successful HR managers, directors and VPs to avoid derailing and to SUCCEED MASSIVELY during their critical first 100 days in their new role.  

This book is a one-of-a-kind, underground playbook developed just for human resources professionals.  It is for you if you’re an HR Manager moving into your first leadership position.  Or if you’re a newly promoted Director in the talent management arena.  Or if, you’re an experienced HR VP in a Fortune 100 company.  It doesn’t matter, if you’re an HR leader, you’ll want this book!

Imagine showing on day one with a game plan for crushing your first 100 days in your new HR role. Now you can make this happen!  

The New HR Leader’s First 100 Days is packed with winning strategies for onboarding yourself, easy-to-follow steps, real life HR case studies, shortcuts, talking points,  questions to ask, critical conversations to have, and crucial actions to take — all of which will save you time, angst and will prepare you to become productive in the fastest time possible.

Worth 100 times the cost
Full of sage advice and practical suggestions. The 15 rules (actually 17) will help any HR leader avoid the hidden pitfalls when starting out.  I was blown away by the “HR Onboarding Accelerator.” This alone will save me lots of time in learning the HR aspects of the organization — and worth 100 times the cost. Thanks Alan Collins.

I’ll never start another new HR job without it!
I read this right after assuming my new job and  first HR VP position. Coincidentally, my GM asked me for a plan for my first 90 days.  Too bad I didn’t have this sooner, it would have helped me create a brilliant plan — much better than the one I wound up creating.  However, I’m now using the book to fill in some gaps and enhance the plan I have.  I’ll never start another HR job without re-reading this book.

Everything that you need to achieve your desired results and to impress those you serve in HR is included in this book. All in a format that provides a wealth of information that is easy to follow, organized well and will make you feel like you have an edge in accomplishing your goals faster.

I highly recommend this book.

Loved the book!  Could not have come at a better time. Easy to read and digest.  I anticipate assuming a new position in the next six months and will follow just about all the Rules.  I’m confident that they’ll put me ahead of the game.  The first book you should grab after getting promoted.
