Accelerating Transitions - Michael Watkins

Why is it important that all new leaders have a learning plan to help them navigate and onboard successfully?

What is HR’s role in accelerating the successful transition of new leaders into their organization?

My guest on this episode is Michael Watkins, Leadership Transition Expert and Best-Selling Author of “The First 90 Days”

During our conversation Michael and I discuss:

  • How organizations can accelerate the transition of new leaders into their roles
  • How remote and hybrid work has impacted leadership transitions
  • Why it is critical that new leaders come in with a “learning plan” and how to create one
  • Why he believes “integration” is more important than “orientation”
  • Why organization’s need to be more clear on who owns leadership transitions
  • Why he believes that people can develop “strategic thinking” skills
