The most reliable guide in the world for leaders in transition

Transitions are a critical moment for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving to a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer the opportunity to start over and make the necessary changes in an organization, they also put leaders in a position of serious vulnerability. The missteps taken during the first three crucial months in a new role can compromise or even derail your success.

In this updated and expanded version of the international bestseller The First 90 Days, Michael D. Watkins offers proven strategies to overcome the challenges of transitions, regardless of where you are in your career. Watkins, a well-known expert on leadership transitions and a senior leader adviser in all types of organizations, also addresses today's increasingly demanding professional landscape, in which managers face not only more frequent transitions but also steeper expectations when they enter their new job.

Following all aspects of the transition scenario, Watkins identifies the most common pitfalls that new leaders encounter and provides the tools and strategies necessary to avoid them. You will learn how to get the first critical wins, an important first step in establishing yourself in your new role. Each chapter also includes checklists, practical tools and self-assessments to help you assimilate key lessons and apply them to your situation.

Regardless of whether you are starting a new job, being promoted from the inside, embarking on an assignment abroad, or being chosen as CEO, how you manage your transition will determine whether you are successful or not. Use this book as a trusted guide.
