Title:
Master Your Next Move, with a New Introduction: The Essential Companion to "The First 90 Days"
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
This is more than a guide—it's the essential companion for leaders stepping into their next big responsibility. Building on Michael D. Watkins’s international bestseller The First 90 Days, this hardcover edition offers a focused expansion of the proven framework for transitions. It reframes the core principles so they apply to promotions, elevated leadership roles, and bigger strategic challenges, not just initial job entry. Readers will find practical, real-world advice on diagnosing a new role, mapping early priorities, and mobilising support from teams, peers, and stakeholders. The new introduction situates the classic 90-day playbook in a broader leadership arc, helping readers accelerate impact in environments where the stakes are higher, decisions carry more risk, and influencing without formal authority is essential. If you’ve ever wondered how the First 90 Days approach translates when you’ve earned a promotion, this book is the precise, actionable bridge that guides you from intent to influence in record time, with clarity, confidence, and measurable progress.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Master Your Next Move is not a rehash of a familiar framework; it is a thoughtfully updated interpretation tailored to advanced leadership transitions. Watkins blends decades of coaching experience with a clear, structured method: diagnose your new terrain, set a strategic rhythm, establish credible credibility with key stakeholders, and design fast, tangible wins that prove your value early. The book’s New Introduction explicitly connects the dots between the original 90-day principles and the realities of higher-level roles—where priorities are broader, teams are larger, and influence is critical. The tone remains practical, crisp, and highly actionable, offering templates, checklists, and step-by-step rituals that help leaders move from analysis to decisive action with confidence. This is the kind of resource you return to as you navigate each new level, a trusted playbook for sustainable leadership growth.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for executives, senior managers, and high-potential leaders preparing for promotion, the book is equally valuable for mentors and coaches supporting them. If you’re moving into broader accountability, overseeing larger teams, or starting in a role with higher political complexity, this guide speaks directly to you. It’s also a compelling gift for ambitious professionals aiming to accelerate their impact, or for organisations looking to equip new leaders with a proven, scalable approach to rapid transition. Whether you’re piloting a department, leading a cross-functional initiative, or stepping into a multinational assignment, Master Your Next Move helps you hit the ground running.
