Mastering Leadership Transitions with Michael Watkins
In today's episode, I am joined by Michael Watkins, the author of The First 90 Days. We discuss leadership transitions, how to make them successful, and what happens if they don't go well. Michael emphasizes the importance of understanding the challenges, planning the process of engaging with key stakeholders early on, and being thoughtful about how you arrive in the new organization. He also highlights the balance between learning and connecting, and deciding and acting. If a transition does not go well, recovery is possible, but it depends on how much damage has been done. ________________ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
