first 45 days as a leaderThe toughest – and perhaps most important – transition of our career is the transition to being a leader. Whether we are doing it for the first time or are now leading a new team. After the congratulations end and you look at the work ahead, you might be thinking “now what?” We’ve learned that the first 45 days as a leader in your new role are critical to your success.

As with most things in life, getting off to good start builds momentum and confidence. But your first 45 days as a new leader do that and more. That time is critical to the relationships you build with your team and new peers, to their perceptions of you, and to the habits you will build in your new leadership role.

We’ve been helping new leaders for more than a decade through our book, From Bud to Boss, and all the related products and services we have created from it. We’ve helped thousands of leaders with the skills needed to transition successfully. But now we want to get more specific. We want help even more leaders be successful in this critical transition time.

That’s why we have created the new, free, video mini-course, Your First 45 Days as a Leader. Five videos giving you specific concrete steps you take during this critical time.

If you are in this transition yourself, consider this our gift to you. If you want to help other leaders you know – inside or outside of your organization – get off to a great start in their new or next leadership role, share this with them.
