Core Webinar - Best of Core Forum: The First 90 Days; Real Life Tales of Transition

CHICAGO—Core hosts the webinar "Best of Core Forum: The First 90 Days; Real Life Tales of Transition" on September 24, 2024, at 1 p.m. CT. Twenty years ago, Michael D. Watkins published a best-selling book on leadership transitions, The First 90 Days. Later updated in 2013, its guidance has become a touchstone for many stepping into a new role as manager. Watkins advises new managers to follow 10 directives: Prepare Yourself; Accelerate Your Learning; Match Strategy To Situation; Negotiate Success; Secure Early Wins; Achieve Alignment; Build Your Team; Create Alliances; Manager Yourself; and Accelerate Everyone. This panel session will critically examine each of these directives, drawing on the real-life experience of three panelists as they navigated their first three months in a new management or leadership role within a library organization. Attendees will come away with practical insights and tips on making a success of those first 90 (or more) days.

This webinar was previously presented in-person as a session at the 2023 Core Forum. We are hosting this webinar, with the session adapted and presented live as a virtual event, to extend its reach.
