42 Rules for Your New Leadership Role (2nd Edition): The Manual They Didn’t Hand You When You Made VP, Director, or Manager Paperback – October 3, 2012
Purchase options and add-ons
42 Rules for Your New Leadership Role (2nd Edition) describes practical and effective actions for you to make a strong start at your new VP, Director, or Manager job. Drawing from extensive interviews with corporate leaders and the author’s 20 years as a strategy consultant and executive coach, these rules form the manual they forgot to hand you when you got that promotion or offer letter.
Topics include how to gain cooperation from your team, read the business culture at your new level, tee up smart “quick wins”, show others how to work with you, assess the business risks in your new role, make the most of your strengths without overdoing it, work around your weaknesses, use team screw-ups to your advantage, redesign your undoable job, and stay focused on your plan when everyone wants you to fight fires and solve the problems on their desks.
Pam gives you specific guidance for each step of those first few critical months. Her recommendations are shaped by current and classic leadership research, as well as fresh insight from her interviews with executives and surveys of leaders at all levels. With her background as executive coach to top Silicon Valley companies, corporate strategist with Bain and Accenture, and Guest Fellow at Stanford GSB's Center for Leadership Development and Research, Pam translates the experiences of thousands of leaders into easy-to-read guidance.
Let this book remind you what you did right before, help you avoid common missteps that cause leaders to stumble, and give you new strategies for acing those critical first months. Adjust what you find here to serve team needs, market condition, cultural context, your goals and your personal leadership style.
Buy this book when you’re making a step up, moving to a new organization, or for your friends as they move up. This book is also an ideal reference for executive coaches, HR business partners, management trainers, executive assistants, and others who help new leaders be successful.

Author Pam Fox Rollin gets it about leadership, and how to transition into your new leadership role. The book is easy to read -- and use. Its format, 42 short essays on making the transition to leadership, makes it a valuable resource for new and experienced leaders. It is the very best "how to" guide for leaders I've come across -- and I've read a ton of leadership books.
I particularly like Rule 4, "Draft Your Strategic One-Pager." Rollin's advice, "Summarize you company's strategy and your team's role," is solid, but often overlooked common sense. She asks some thought provoking questions and suggests that the reader answer them in a one page summary.
Rule 15, "Show People How to Work With You," is another great piece of common sense leadership advice. Rollin says, "Often new leaders neglect to tell their people what they want, and then are frustrated when they don't get it." This is right out of Performance Management 101, but many leadership don't follow this advice. Successful leaders make it easy for people to work with and for them.
Rule 30, "Grow More Leaders," is another of my favorites. In my experience Rollin is correct when she says, "If you develop a reputation as a great boss, you'll have a steady supply of great people who want to work for you." People flock to leaders who have a track record of growing subordinates and getting them promoted. I love her advice on championing your people: simple but powerful ideas like "bring them to meetings" and "speak well of them."
Every one of the 42 rules in this book contains terrific advice, presented in a simple, straightforward manner. The book is better for the personal stories Rollin shares throughout. By the way, she follows her own advice. Rule 21 is "Tell a Good Story."
"42 Rules for Your New Leadership Job" is a must read for new and experienced leaders. Do yourself a favor. Get a copy, read it and put its common sense advice to work.
I've found this book to be very helpful in transitioning to new roles. It's very easy to read, and has a layout that makes it simple to review each of the rules, understand how to apply it to your new role, and write down concrete actions you will take. Some of the rules are especially useful during your first few weeks (e.g. "leverage the honeymoon", "figure out what to prove by when"), while others are worth reviewing 90 or 180 days after you transition into a new role (e.g. "map what matters to people with power). I highly recommend this book as a complement to "The First 90 Days" from Michael Watkins, which provides good frameworks to think about the challenges you will face in a new role and how to approach them.
I also read this book when I transitioned into a different leadership role in my organization. It helped me create a structure for the transition and has helped transform the way his company runs business development. It helps you think about organizational leadership in a new light. I find myself going back to the examples in the book and there is always something helpful.
Rollin provides advice that's specific and immediately actionable. Having seen her speak, I know the ideas are backed up by extensive research and years of experience. Thankfully, she doesn't make the reader wade through theory and research data to get to what's really useful in a leadership book: practical recommendations for actions I can start implementing immediately.
1. You must have a point of view. From Day One
2.Better to have an imperfect solution you use all the time, than an elegant solution you use half the time
3.you can build your power by helping others get what they want
4. If you don’t stand up for yourself and actively promote your own interests, few will be willing to be on your side
