E90 – The Firehose of Information

Things to prepare for in a hand off and avoid being the fire hose.

Think about the organization of the information

Daily weekly Monthly duties

Create a plan that gives that information…meeting daily? Weekly

Be prepared to make the best use of the time

What is a flow that would make sense to hand off the information

Steps that build upon each other

Don’t put the cart before the horse

Would shadowing be a way to introduce the activities?

Consider the level of expertise of the receiver

Often times your replacement is a greener version of yourself

Remember what its like to NOT Know

Allow time for self study and reflection / Provide Homework research

Review of the information already presented really irons the learning in.

While you are handing things off, check in, be emotionally intelligent to the receiver and most of all Remember what its like to NOT be New.
