Transitions are crucial for leaders. In fact, most managers say that the most difficult issue they will encounter is transitioning into a new role. While transitions provide an opportunity to start over and make necessary changes in a company, they also put leaders in a vulnerable position. Mistakes committed in the first three months of a new job might risk or even derail your success.
Michael D. Watkins presents proven tactics for overcoming the problems of transitions in this revised and extended version of the international bestseller The First 90 Days. Watkins, a well-known expert on leadership transitions and a trusted advisor to senior leaders in all types of organizations, also addresses today's increasingly demanding professional landscape, in which managers face not only more frequent transitions but also higher expectations once they begin their new jobs.
Watkins highlights the most common errors new leaders face and provides the tools and methods you need to avoid them by bringing you through every facet of the transition scenario. You'll learn how to secure vital early wins, which is a critical first step toward establishing yourself in your new role. Each chapter also includes checklists, practical tools, and self-assessments to help you remember and implement crucial skills.
Whether you're starting a new career, being promoted from within, going abroad, or being named CEO, how you manage your transition will determine whether you succeed or fail. Use this book as your trustworthy advisor.
