This book has seriously been one of the best books I have read in a while. It is very thought provoking and the perfect read for anyone (planning on) transitioning. I love the way each chapter ends with a practical checklist that really is applicable in your professional live, how it is structured, and the clarifying figures throughout the book. Another gem in the Harvard Business Review collection.

The entire career journey of one person has full of transitions, milestones and pitfalls. Everyone has his/her first day at work, first promotion, working for another team or boss, and sort of other changes. That is why it is critical that every one has to have an expert guide on how to navigate through these journeys.

This book serve us an excellent guide on how to deal with more specific kinds of transitions in an executive career. While this book is primarily written for senior executives or CEOs, the principles here are applicable to anyone who is planning to lead or is already in leadership position (supervisory level).

Moreover, the book gives specific advice on a wide variety of topics such as leading your former peers, how to prepare for international assignments, how to properly approach a turnaround and realignment business situations, and many more.

This book is comprehensive and specific enough for readers to start taking action. You’ll be confident that the ideas here are really backed up by research and real world applications not because the author said so but because it shows on the way the book is written.

Thanks to Harvard Business Review Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

I am reading 'The first 90 days' and liked some of the metaphors in it about how choosing a team is like picking a crew and the kind of ship, sail for a long journey. I got curious about Master your next move. The examples are in depth of different transition scenarios for leaders. Each transition type alos comes with a checklist. A keeper for future corporate careers.
