\n\tNewly promoted employees often struggle to quickly and adeptly transition into their new roles, according to a new study of 1,420 people by leadership training company VitalSmarts. Specifically, they struggle to turn new skills into automatic habits required for reliable execution in the new role.<\/p>\n

\n\tVitalSmarts Vice President of Research David Maxfield and Vice President of Product Development Emily Gregory offer these tips for accelerating habit formation:<\/p>\n

\n
1. \n\t\tFocus on one or two “keystone” habits:<\/strong> These are behavioral habits that will create small wins and momentum—habits that will naturally lead to other good habits.<\/li>\n
2. \n\t\tDon’t break old habits; replace them:<\/strong> Create new small, specific, concrete routines and make sure you have the knowledge, skills, and tools to maintain the new behavior.<\/li>\n
3. \n\t\tIdentify cues:<\/strong> Determine what you will put in place to trigger this new habit. It could be a notification, seeing a specific person, a certain time of day, etc.<\/li>\n
4. \n\t\tIdentify rewards:<\/strong> Choose a reward that gets you excited to execute the behavior, and make that reward both immediate, obvious, and one that happens every time you do the new behavior.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
