Named one of 100 Leadership & Success Books to Read in a Lifetime by
Amazon Editors, here is the world's most trusted guide for anyone taking
on a new professional role.
Transitions are critical times in your career. In fact, moving into a
new role can be the biggest challenge a leader or manager will face. And
while a transition offers a chance to start fresh and create positive
impact in an organization, it also places you in a position of acute
vulnerability. Missteps made during the crucial first three months in a
new role can jeopardize or even derail your success.
In this newly revised and updated edition of the international
bestseller The First 90 Days, Michael Watkins offers proven strategies
for conquering the challenges of transitions--no matter where you are in
your career. Watkins, the world's preeminent expert on leadership
transitions and adviser to business leaders around the world, also
addresses today's increasingly demanding professional landscape, where
managers face not only more-frequent transitions but also steeper
expectations once they step into their new jobs.
Watkins identifies the most-common pitfalls new leaders encounter and
provides the tools and strategies needed to avoid them. You'll learn how
to secure critical early wins, an important first step in establishing
yourself in a new role. Each chapter also includes checklists, practical
tools, and self-assessments to help you assimilate key lessons and apply
them to your own situation.
Whether you're starting a new job, being promoted from within, embarking
on an overseas assignment, or being tapped as CEO, how you manage your
transition will determine whether you succeed or fail. Use this book as
your trusted guide.
