For all managers making a leadership transition, it is critical to
engage with the new role rapidly to permit a seamless changeover and to
ensure that staff remain engaged and focused. This handy guide provides
you with the structure and guidance you need to minimise disruption and
maximise performance during the crucial first 100 days.
Written by Peter Fischer, an industrial psychologist and
psychotherapist, the book provides you with tried and tested models and
self-assessment techniques which allow you to manage expectations, build
key relationships and drive through change during your first three
months in charge.
The first part of the book deals with the common problems faced by new
managers in the early days of a new post, shows the right questions to
ask and also provides really helpful advice on issues such as how to
deal with a disappointed contender.
The second part of the book looks at the problems faced by new
appointees in different scenarios, including: internal promotion;
external hire; big predecessor and little successor, the young
high-potential manager and the overseas assignment.
If you are a new manager, no matter the circumstances of your
appointment, this book identifies all the problems you are likely to
face, shows you how to deal with them, and allows you to hit the ground
running in your new role.
