103 Rules / Leadership Series / 09You were promoted for running one part of the organisation well. Now you're expected to help run all of it, with a budget round next month, a board paper due on Friday, managers doing the managing you used to do, and a job title that may or may not make you a director in law.
103 Rules for New Directors is a practical guide to the first year or two at director level. In short, direct chapters, it covers seeing past your old department, turning strategy into decisions about money and people, asking the right questions of the numbers, leading managers without going round them, governance and risk that do more than fill a folder, and what you leave for whoever comes next.
New functional directors and senior leaders; statutory appointments require additional specialist guidance.
A launch email is not a transformation.
The human adoption of organisational change: impact, sponsorship, participation, communication, barriers, retraining, rollout and sustained use.
Everything they should have told you before giving you a team.
The individual manager-direct report relationship: expectations, delegation, one-to-ones, coaching, everyday feedback and careers.
