Truth #1
Transitioning into a new role is often the most challenging time in our professional lives
![Page 5: The First 100 Days - Successful Transition into Leadership](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546fdf37b4af9fae0a8b456b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Truth #2
Successful transitions depend on reaching the “break-even point” as quickly as possible - this point is where you become a “net” contributor
![Page 6: The First 100 Days - Successful Transition into Leadership](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062614/546fdf37b4af9fae0a8b456b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Two aspects to transitions
Personal – who you are as a leader and the skills and experiences that you bring – your “personal adaptive challenges”
Situational – the “organizational change challenge”

Transition failure happens because:
You misunderstand the needs of the situation
and/or
You lack the skill and flexibility to adapt
