I agree completely. Managers need to work with realistic expectations and tend to what is most important - and utilize their delegation skills during the busiest times. Not having a plan and incorporating additional work, such as bringing on a new employee, with current workload can be disastrous. No one rewards us for failing! Hi Wally,

This is a great and comprehensive post. I would add one thing, though. Be sure to care for yourself during this process. The "on-boarding" is important should get priority call on your time and energy, but it's added to the top of an often-teetering pile of other work. If you don't do this, one of two things are likely to happen. You will not pay enough attention to the new person and the on-boarding plan or you will let other important work deadlines slip. Hi Joe.
