Some are successful, some are not. Almost every time, the early actions of that person set the tone for their administration and the legacy they leave behind when they are gone. In other words, their success or failure hinges on the first days or weeks in the new setting. Is he a class act or just another leader? The class act leaders instinctively know they are the new kid on the block.
