Named one of 100 Leadership & Success Books to Read in a Lifetime by Amazon Editors

The world’s most trusted guide for leaders in transition

Transitions are a critical time for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving into a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders 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 updated and expanded version of the international bestseller The First 90 Days, Michael D. Watkins offers proven strategies for conquering the challenges of transitions—no matter where you are in your career. Watkins, a noted expert on leadership transitions and adviser to senior leaders in all types of organizations, 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.

By walking you through every aspect of the transition scenario, Watkins identifies the most common pitfalls new leaders encounter and provides the tools and strategies you need to avoid them. You’ll learn how to secure critical early 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 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.

the first chapter has 20missing pages mixed with pages from Chapter 9. Too hassle to return. Wish there's an option of return-and-replace kind of thing and not return-and-refund

A real help

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2019

Verified Purchase

Starting a new role is always an anxious time. I wanted to present a considered and structured approach, and sought suitable literature to learn best practice. This book provides a comprehensive guide to starting a new role, but if anything I think it's a bit too long and labours the point. I was hoping for more of a template with critical areas to cover, but after 200 pages, much is repeated, it's padded with overlapping 'case studies' and it becomes tedious to finish. But all credit to the author for what has probably become the leading reference in this area.

Can reduce time to break-even by as much as 40%

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2020

Transitioning to a new role can cause anxiety and stress for weeks, but this book by Michael Watkins helps diagnose your situations, define the core challenges, and design plans to create momentum which results in a more successful and comfortable transition.

Hundreds of thousands of leaders have benefited from this approach, which independent research has shown reduces time to break-even by as much as 40%.

The book includes case studies of failed transitions and clearly explains how to avoid them by preparing yourself, setting your boundaries, listening, learning, collobrating, creating alliances, securing early wins and managing yourself.

"Effective leaders strike the right balance between doing (making things happen) and being (observing and reflecting)"...

...this nugget from the book is equally true even when you're not transitioning to a new role.

I'd definitely recommend this book.

Third time purchasing this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Due to moving countries and leaving behind my books each time I have had to purchase this book yet again. That goes to say something about it though. For anyone changing roles within a company or externally, I would highly recommend reading or in some cases, like mine, re reading the first 90 days. It will help remind you what it's like to restart and keep you on the rails.

Excellent, highly recommended for anyone

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 March 2021

Verified Purchase

Useful for changing work or stepping into a new role or a more senior role. A book I wrote on non stop, to take notes, and I'll be coming back to it again and again. Can't recommend this enough. I'm recommending it to everyone I know. I implemented a lot of those things in my organisation and I reckon I will continue to do so in different contexts throughout my professional career.

Food for thought,

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Clearly written, even for those who do not read 'management studies', well reasoned, and in many places is well aware of the realities that face any Manager. Provides thoughtful and clear advice on how to plan an effective 'on boarding'. I also believe, and I am sure the author expects that executive level readers should clearly possess the ability to adapt the procedures , policies, plans and advice given to their own circumstances. However, I would also echo other reviewers, despite making some clear allowance for realities, this book is best suited to chief excecutives, rather than those limited to what they can change at middle management in 'legacy ridden' companies. Food for thought, but not quite the 'holy grail', its apparent belief that it is only detracts from its effectiveness.
