(PRWEB) July 26, 2006 -- Finally on audio -- national bestseller from Harvard Business School is now available on audio CD and audio download. Take charge of a career or new job with the proven strategies of “The First 90 Days.”
From the day you start your next new job, the clock is ticking: you have three months to take control, or fail. So says Michael Watkins, author of “The First 90 Days," now available as an audiobook and audio download.
Whether you’ve been hired from the outside or promoted from within, first-time manager or a new to the C-suite, this audio CD is a roadmap for taking charge quickly and effectively during any critical career transition periods. Written by noted leadership transition expert Michael Watkins, “The First 90 Days" outlines proven strategies that will dramatically shorten the time it takes to reach what Watkins calls the "breakeven point": the point at which your organization needs you as much as you need the job.
Whether you are charged with launching a start-up, leading a turnaround, orchestrating realignment or sustaining a high-performing unit, “The First 90 Days" will help you to develop a transition acceleration plan that is tailored to your situation, your level of seniority and expertise, and the condition of your organization.
Refuting the pervasive belief that new leaders should be left to "sink or swim," this audiobook is a proactive planning approach that can make your career-and ensure your organization's future.
