Pragmatic advice for managers or executives transitioning into new roles
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.
