Written in a direct style and presenting a carefully structured argument, this management tome offers a clear plan for increasing the time in which a new employee becomes an effective one and ensuring their commitment to the organization. The authors (both are with an executive transition consultancy) present specific guidelines to guide a company into organizing its efforts to hire and train new managers so that the right person is hired, everyone knows what the job is, and the new employee has the people, resources, and information to do the job from the first day. The text is supplemented throughout with tips, time-savers, examples, and forms and checklists that are downloadable from an accompanying website.
