Leadership Transition Announcements

Description

How a change of leader is announced affects how staff respond to it. These thirteen PDF lessons start with the effects of a leadership transition, then show how to write the announcement itself.

They cover timing and strategy, email templates for different scenarios, handling employee questions, and introducing the new leader. Further lessons build a 100-day plan, address external communication, monitor results and avoid common mistakes. Case studies and a resources lesson close the course. Templates, checklists and a worksheet are included. Afterwards you can write a clear announcement, anticipate questions from staff and customers, and plan the first months of the transition.

Who it is for: HR and communications staff who write leadership change announcements.
