An IMD masterclass on how to lead with power in your new role, from day one
Stepping into a new leadership role – whether it’s a promotion, a lateral move, or onboarding into a new organization – is one of the most high-stakes moments in any executive’s career. These transitions define not only your early momentum but often your long-term trajectory. The difference between success and derailment? What you do in your first 90 days.
In this masterclass, Professor Michael Watkins, author of the global bestseller The First 90 Days and Program Director of IMD’s The First 90 Days® program, shares proven strategies, tools, and the mindset to accelerate your impact from day one. Drawing on years of research and real-world experience, Professor Watkins will help you navigate complexity, avoid common pitfalls, and secure early wins that build credibility and confidence.
This session is ideal for executives navigating a role change – and for those preparing to step into general management or board-facing positions.
What you’ll gain:
- A structured approach to new role transitions – Learn how to plan and lead during your first 90 days to maximize momentum and avoid derailment.
- Tools to build credibility fast – Understand how to gain trust and secure early wins with your new team and stakeholders.
- Strategies to align quickly – Learn how to diagnose situations and align with key priorities in new or expanded roles.
