Are you moving to a new industry or sector?

One of the biggest mistakes leaders tend to make when moving from 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 to a 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗲, or from the 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 to the 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿, is trying to change everything (and everyone) too quickly.

Usually, that urgency is baked in from the recruitment process. You’re hired 𝚋̲𝚎̲𝚌̲𝚊̲𝚞̲𝚜̲𝚎̲ you’re an outsider. You’re 𝚎̲𝚡̲𝚙̲𝚎̲𝚌̲𝚝̲𝚎̲𝚍̲ to bring fresh thinking and challenge the status quo.
