Have a meeting with the leaders. Addressing their internal conversations, fears about the change in guard, what excites them, what makes them nervous.
Ask them 3 brutal facts about what needs to change in the company.
Going forward set up a 1 on 1 weekly with direct reports along with a weekly team meetings.
I love the 3 brutal facts recommendation! I have a meeting set up with them on Tuesday. I thought I’d let the news settle a day, then address. I have 1x1’s on my to do list tomorrow. This is great! Thank you!
