An IMD masterclass on accelerating your impact during critical leadership transitions when taking a challenging new role
Whether it’s a promotion, a lateral move, or onboarding into a new organization, transitions are often the highest-stakes moments in any executive’s career. The first few months set the tone for long-term success or failure.
In this masterclass, Professor Michael Watkins, author of the global bestseller The First 90 Days and Program Director of IMD’s The First 90 Days® – Career Transition Program, shares proven strategies to help leaders accelerate their learning, build trust, secure early wins, and avoid common transition traps.
