Success Strategies for New Leaders at All Levels Hardbound, 208 pp
Whether challenged with taking on a startup, turning a business around, or inheriting a high-performing unit, a new leader's success or failure is determined within the first 90 days on the job.
Concise and actionable, this is the survival guide
no new
leader should be without.
In this hands-on guide, Michael Watkins, a noted expert on
leadership transitions, offers proven strategies for moving
successfully into a new role at any point in one's career. The
First 90 Days provides a framework for transition
acceleration that will help leaders diagnose their situations,
craft winning transition strategies, and take charge quickly.
Practical examples illustrate how to learn about new
organizations, build teams, create coalitions, secure early wins,
and lay the foundation for longer-term success. In addition, Watkins
provides strategies for avoiding the most common pitfalls new
leaders encounter, and shows how individuals can protect
themselves-emotionally as well as professionally-during what is
often an intense and vulnerable period.
"Few companies develop a systematic 'on-boarding' process
for their new leaders, even though this is a critical function with
major organizational implications. Michael Watkins's The First 90
Days provides a powerful framework and strategies that will
enable new leaders to take charge quickly. It is an invaluable tool
for that most vulnerable time-the transition." -Goli Darabi,
Senior Vice President, Corporate Leadership & Succession
Management, Fidelity Investments
"Watkins provides an excellent road map, telling us what all
new leaders need to know and do to accelerate their learning and
success in a new role. The First 90 Days should be
incorporated into every company's leadership development strategy,
so that anyone making a transition in an organization can get up to
speed quicker and smarter." -Suzanne M. Danielle, Director
of Global Leadership Development, Aventis
"Michael Watkins has nailed a huge corporate problem and
provided the solution in one fell swoop. The pressure on new leaders
to hit the ground running has never been greater, and the likelihood
and cost of failure is escalating. Watkins's timing with The
First 90 Days is impeccable." -Gordon Curtis, Principal,
Curtis Consulting
"The First 90 Days is a must-read for entrepreneurs.
Anyone who's been the CEO of a start-up or early-stage company knows
that you go through many 90-day leadership transitions in the course
of a company's formative years. In this groundbreaking book, Michael
Watkins provides crucial insights, as well as a toolkit of
techniques, to enable you to accelerate through these transitions
successfully." -Mike Kinkead, President and CEO, timeBLASTER
