We are looking to create a New Leader Workbook for recently hired executives. (Director and above) What are the most important components to consider when developing one? The categories we identified are Vision, Mission, Values, Behaviors, Priorities, and Key Resources. What else would you add to it?

To create a New Leader Workbook for recently hired executives, you should take care that it provides an in-depth overview of the organization, including its history, mission, values, culture, and strategic objectives that you have already identified. Apart from this,  you can add leadership expectations, organizational structure, team and personnel information, checklists, and feedback templates.

In addition to the ones you mentioned, these few components could enhance the comprehensiveness of your New Leader Workbook:

Communication Strategy: Provide insights into your communication channels, practices and expectations so that leaders can effectively convey their vision and goals to their teams.

Change Management Strategy: Equip your leaders with strategies for managing and leading through change so that they can navigate transformations within their teams and departments accordingly.
