This book comes with a very practical executive transition guide and consists of four parts:

The second part of the book explores Challenges & Failures. It looks at existing organisational onboarding frameworks, what gets in the way, and what is the true cost of failed executive transitions. It concludes with common executive transition challenges. The author makes an interesting observation about the gender gap in supporting executive transitions.

The third part of the book looks at how executives can move Toward Transition Mastery.
