Transition – 14.16 team The Key for powerful closing & powerful begining
Myth/ Fact about transition!
Myth/Fact 1.
In Q2 the MCEB team are sort of in the relaxing mood & preparing for the future. As MCP, I can’t push them / be strict/ empower them to still focus on their job. Especially as the transition is coming.
2.
In Q2 there is nothing much can be done in terms of performance. As it kind of closing stage for the term already, especially since I already have the MCP elect.
3.
Since the MCP/MCEB elect is here, the current can be more relaxed as they can give it over to elect already (It is part of the transition to make them work).
1 (myth) | 2 (myth) | 3 (myth)
Myth/Fact 3. Elect and current team are two different entities where usually they “bitch” about each other. 4. I should focus on getting results for my term only, without leaving pipeline for my successor. 5. If we already achieved the goal then we don’t need to change anything. 3 (myth) | 4 (myth) | 5 (myth)
