The former managing director of Mckinsey & Company, Ian Davis gave new appointed CEOs thoughtful advices, which is summarized in 10 notes. I like the No.10 since he mentioned about how to balance work and life. One of example he pointed out is trying not to use BlackBerry 2 hours before going bed, which is pretty personal advice for some people addicted to it like me :P This is for CEOs but I think it's still pretty useful for anyone who just got new position and getting transited.
1. Have I reflected on the context of my transition—not just from my own perspective, but from that of all key stakeholders?
2. Have I established in my own mind the time frame and intended outcomes of my leadership transition?
3. Have I established my initial set of priorities with a full understanding of what others expect of me?
4. How will I control my agenda and allocate my time?
5. Have I developed a clear process and time frame for selecting my top team?
6. Have I committed sufficiently to building a relationship with my chairman and board?
7. Do I have a mechanism for building the necessary support office and infrastructure?
8. Have I thought through my communications plan— internal and external?
9. Do I have a mechanism for getting balanced feedback and information?
10. Have I established appropriate personal ground rules?
