Are you ready for a new role?  Whether it is an internal transfer, promotion, or new company, the impression you make during your first critical months can make all the difference in your success.  In today’s competitive environment, there is often only a very small learning curve before results are expected.  

One resource I recommend for senior professionals is Michael Watkins' book – The First 90 Days.  We all know to set goals, manage expectations, etc., but this approach takes a more comprehensive look at every aspect, that will help you achieve success faster and with visibility.  It provides advanced tools to help you prepare for your next career move.

Watkins lists 10 key transition strategies.  Do you know what they are? Are you ready to manage your transition? Do you have a 90 day comprehensive plan to navigate a path to success?  Employers today expect you to have a strong skill set, to adapt to the new role quickly, build teams and relationships rapidly, and to deliver.  Now you have a road map for the first leg of your new journey.
