Product Description
According to Dan Ciampa and Michael Watkins 64% of executives hired from the outside won't make it in their new jobs. While executives from within the ranks know the challenges, culture and politics of a company, newcomers face a corporate minefield. Right from the Start is Ciampa and Watkins' survival manual for leaders starting work at a new company. "Leadership is never easy", they write. "This is never truer than when a new leader enters an organization from the outside and must change its culture in fundamental ways". Through interviews with dozens of corporate leaders who have succeeded or failed in such transitions the authors provide a strategy for getting it right from the outset.
Ciampa, an independent consultant, and Watkins, a Harvard Business School associate professor, advise three key missions for new leaders: create momentum; master the ability to learn, convey a vision and build coalitions; and know and manage yourself well. A fast start is especially crucial. They say the most important period starts with the recruitment or interview process and runs through the first six months in a new role. Right From the Start provides plenty of real-life examples of successes and failures, from building coalitions to changing corporate culture. The stories tend to suffer sometimes because the executives remain anonymous. Nonetheless the book is instructive for business people assuming new management roles. --Dan Ring, Amazon.com
Product Description
Have you recently been handed a new leadership challenge? Are you about to start a new job, or are you expecting a big promotion? 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. It 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. 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. In Right from the Start, authors Ciampa and Watkins lay out an action-oriented framework to follow during the first six months in a new job. The tactical advice is supplemented 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. Make no mistake, say the authors: the planning you do before you take the leadership reins is critical to achieving your goals. Right from the Start, with its timeless lessons of leadership, succession, and transition, is for everyone who wants to ensure that their first steps in a new job will be the ones that lead to enduring success.
