Publisher's Summary
The world’s most trusted guide for leaders in transition.
Transitions are a critical time for leaders. In fact, most agree that moving into a new role is the biggest challenge a manager will face. While transitions offer a chance to start fresh and make needed changes in an organization, they also place leaders in a position of acute vulnerability. Missteps made during the crucial first three months in a new role can jeopardize or even derail your success.
In this updated and expanded version of the international bestseller The First 90 Days, Michael D. Watkins offers proven strategies for conquering the challenges of transitions - no matter where you are in your career. Watkins, a noted expert on leadership transitions and adviser to senior leaders in all types of organizations, also addresses today’s increasingly demanding professional landscape, where managers face not only more frequent transitions but also steeper expectations once they step into their new jobs.
By walking you through every aspect of the transition scenario, Watkins identifies the most common pitfalls new leaders encounter and provides the tools and strategies you need to avoid them. You’ll learn how to secure critical early wins, an important first step in establishing yourself in your new role. Each chapter also includes checklists, practical tools, and self-assessments to help you assimilate key lessons and apply them to your own situation.
Whether you’re starting a new job, being promoted from within, embarking on an overseas assignment, or being tapped as CEO, how you manage your transition will determine whether you succeed or fail. Use this book as your trusted guide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Mainly for Senior Managers
Most of the advise in this book is mainly/only applicable for people at fairly senior levels in an organization. The author frequently assumes that you will have people directly reporting to you, and often an assumes that your direct reports will have direct reports. There is also the assumption that you will have the role power to make changes to process and strategic decisions within your organization.
If the above applies to you, this book may be helpful. If you are more junior (as I am) their isn't much helpful advise in this book.

Great book, audiobook even better for previous readers
While this is a fantastic read, I found it a bit tougher to be 100% grasping at ALL the concepts the book provides through an audio recording. While perhaps 80% effective as an audiobook, I would’ve liked the chart comparisons and examples more on-paper. As is the case with many professional reads, certain concepts become obtuse, relying on a fair amount of organizational behavior language, coupled with an incredibly professional/academic tone/angle the book is known for. I would still recommend this audiobook to all, although readers of the printed book might benefit the most.

Great book to accelerate transitions(PDF Included)
Would you consider the audio edition of The First 90 Days, Updated and Expanded to be better than the print version?
The audio edition is excellent. I listened to it in the car though, and wanted to take notes while I listened. Lots of valuable information. I might listen again and jot down notes and look at the graphs more intently.
What other book might you compare The First 90 Days, Updated and Expanded to and why?
The Power of Habit, Good to Create, Built to Last. All similar self-help / increase productivity at work / increase ability to transition books.
Any additional comments?
Great audio book. Now comes with the PDF of charts and worksheets, you might have to visit the audible.com site and look at your book library. For me the PDF is in plain sight. Very useful.

Excellent Content, But....
Where does The First 90 Days, Updated and Expanded rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Great book if you are looking to move up in your career following a new position. Beware though, that it makes many references to the charts, tables, graphs, lists, and figures contained within the actual book. Unfortunately, the audiobook does not come with these images which I felt were extremely important to the application of the book. It would be great if a pdf was provided which contained these items, but instead, I had to go out and buy the physical book as well. If you can find your way around this issue, it is well worth it. It does a good job of creating a visible plan for you to follow to ensure your success and upward mobility within a company. Don't wait until after you get the job to get this book though. I wish I would have read it before I even got the position to be able to go in with a legitimate plan and purpose. Instead I got it six weeks after I started which still helped tremendously.
