Moves Management

In Your Next Move, leadership-transition guru Michael Watkins shows how you can survive and thrive in all the major transitions you will face during your career, including promotion, on-boarding into a new organization, and making an international move.

It’s an irreverent, fact-driven, and humorous take on the real world of strategic decision making.
