Preview
Michael Watkins found that transitions are periods of acute vulnerability and opportunity. How you enter a new leadership role shapes whether you earn trust fast or spend months recovering from early missteps.
Gallup research shows that managers account for up to 70 percent of variance in team engagement. The Center for Creative Leadership emphasizes that emerging leaders need support, not sink-or-swim expectations.
Built on research from Michael D. Watkins, Gallup, and Center for Creative Leadership.
