“People are a company’s most important asset. Successful Onboarding makes the case for the importance of effective onboarding in setting up employees for success.” - Stephen Squeri, Group President, Global Services and Chief Information Officer, American Express Company
Fact: One third of all external hires are no longer with the organization after 2 years. What can you do about it?
In a word: onboarding; although poorly understood, subject to narrow definitions, and with limited best practice understanding or management rigor. Consultants Mark Stein & Lilith Christiansen have worked with leading companies on it, and they’ve synthesized their work into a ready to use system.
Through the teachings in this book, you can:
- Rewrite the employer-employee compact, to everyone’s advantage
- Reduce time-to-productivity, while increasing the level of productivity and retention
- Make improvements at the systemic level, with gains realized with regularity
- Enroll new hires in your company’s strategic plan
This book provides a business case, a systemic approach to the entire process, and instructive inside stories from Apple, Starbucks, Netflix, Microsoft, Baird, Bank of America, John Deere, and dozens of other industry leaders.

Your attitude makes or breaks you in life. We all have attitudes that are toxic and damaging to our lives, and we all have healthy attitudes that help us to experience life in full.
Have you ever wondered what the worst, most toxic attitudes are? Have you ever wondered what the best, most life-enhancing attitudes are?
Wonder no more. This book will help you better understand the good and the bad when it comes to the attitude you carry into each day. Far too often, we focus on changing our circumstances as the best way to improve our lives.
While that's all well and good, changing your attitude for the better is far more important than changing your circumstance in life. We don't need an attitude adjustment, we need an attitude overhaul. Read this book - it will help you do just that.
