Leadership Transition Book Series

One quarter of managers transition to a new role or job each year. In a large organization, it takes a new leader an average of 6.4 months to become a positive contributor in the new role. Too few managers--and organizations--approach these transitions with a strategic plan.

According to leadership expert Michael Watkins, a new leader's success or failure is determined within 90 days on the job. In this specially-priced collection authors Dan Ciampa and Michael D. Watkins supplement tactical advice in "Right From the Start: Taking Charge in a New Leadership Role" (hardcover) with profiles of CEOs, COOs, and EVPs who candidly discuss their experiences with transitioning to a new role.

Also, "The First 90 Days: Critical Success Strategies for New Leaders at All Levels" (hardcover), walks managers through every aspect of the transition, from forging the right alliances to securing early wins. (This is one I highly recommend. I read it and it is great!)

In the third component of the collection, the 90-minute audio presentation, "Managing Your Leadership Transitions (audioconference), Michael D. Watkins discusses a transition acceleratin framework that helps leaders diagnose their own situations and take charge quickly. Save over 15% off individual prices.
