Hit the ground running

Explanation:
Creio que "hit the ground running" é a expressão mais próxima ao que você busca. Dá a entender que a pessoa vai "take charge" e lidar com os desafios imediatamente, sem demora. Existe até mesmo uma empresa de consultoria de RH com este nome: http://www.hitthegroundrunning.com/
