Summary: For everyone who wants to ensure that their first steps in a new job will lead to enduring success, Right from the Start lays out an action-oriented framework to follow during the early months in a new job. Whether you are succeeding a much-admired boss or charged with implementing sweeping, potentially unsettling change initiatives, a new role is fraught with obstacles that can undermine your efforts to establish authority and build support. Right from the Start will prepare you for the often-treacherous task of navigating an organization's strategy, politics, and culture so that you can smoothly and effectively get to work on your new agenda. With today's surge in start-ups, spin-offs, change initiatives, and reorganizations, chances are that you'll be in a position to accept a leadership role sometime soon. Before you do, let Right from the Start show you how to balance the tensions and challenges inherent in any leadership transition. Authors Ciampa and Watkins supplement the tactical advice with absorbing profiles of CEOs, COOs, and EVPs who candidly discuss their experiences--the successes and the failures--with transitioning to a new leadership role. https://hbr.org/product/right-from-the-start-taking-charge-in-a-new-leadership-role/7928-PBK-ENG
