Product Description
After three months in a new job, are you up to speed? Will you sink . . . or swim? Transitions into new roles are the crucibles in which leaders get their toughest tests, and they're the defining factor in professional careers today.
Yet far too often, leaders fail to transition effectively into new roles. The resulting costs are high, for your career and the organization.
In Your Next Move, leadership-transition guru Michael Watkins shows how you can survive and thrive in all the major transitions you will face during your career, including promotion, on-boarding into a new organization, and making an international move. With real-life examples and case studies, he illustrates the defining hurdles associated with each type of transition.
He then provides the insights, strategies, and tools-including relationship reengineering, business systems analysis, and "organizational immunology"-you'll need to accelerate through these crucial turning points and continue moving up in your career.
The necessary complement to the author's bestselling guide The First 90 Days, Your Next Move offers the keen observations, tried-and-true management wisdom, and practical good sense Watkins is renowned for. It's a vital resource for any manager or executive seeking to maintain career momentum.

(What's this?)
Michael Watkins is an expert in management transition, the move from one job to another. Your Next Move follows his highly successful earlier work, The First 90 Days. The structure of the book is laid out in the Introduction, each chapter is a look at one of eight popular types of transistion:
The Promotion Challenge
The Leading-Former-Peers Challenge
The Corporate Diplomacy Challenge
The Onboarding Challenge
The International Move Challenge
The Turnaround Challenge
The Realignment Challenge
The STARS Portfolio Challenge (a group of different challenges)
Each section uses an example. There are questions to think about during and at the end of each chapter, to help focus awareness for the person in transition. There were also references to a website with online tools.
The book is well worth reading. Most people who have, or who are about to change jobs, would benefit from reading through the relevant chapter, depending on the type of job move. There are some very useful tips on how best to approach certain situations, as well as a number of models to plan your transition strategy. I found it fascinating relating the book to individuals who I've observed coming into a new role in the last few years - and analysing their effectiveness in transition.
The questions in each chapter are a very good guide to the issues, focusing time to those aspects of the job which would benefit most time spent considering. I'm afraid I wasn't as impressed with the website, which was advertised as further help in the book.. I logged on to the site, and registered (which is free), but online tools were more just an advert for other books.
However, I would strongly recommend the book to anyone who is planning to, or already progressing in their career. It will give you some insight into what you may face, and a valuable steer as to how best to tackle potential situations.

Format:Hardcover
If you've just been promoted into a major executive position at your firm, here's hoping you can dodge the bullets your new colleagues will aim directly at your head. Likewise, moving from one corporate business unit to another or taking an executive position at a new company present difficulties. So how should you handle yourself? Leadership development expert Michael D. Watkins outlines eight common executive-career transitions and lays out how to deal with them. He explains why leaders making career moves must step carefully amid office politics, corporate life-stage changes, overseas challenges and business pitfalls. getAbstract recommends his sage advice and savvy suggestions to any executive making a career move. Here's how to do it right.

(What's this?)
Well written book this, packed with useful advice from an author who is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. At around 200 pages in length it's very digestible and I managed to get through it in a couple of days without too much problem. The writing is clear and concise. Of course, it's packed with business-speak, but I don't think that detracted from the content. The chapters are arranged around various "challenges" facing leaders who are navigating into different careers. It's likely that most readers will only find 1 or 2 of these challenges appropriate to their particular situation. I read the "corporate diplomacy challenge" and I found it very insightful, with a number of tips I will take away into my current work.
