Editorial Book Review:

By Jazmin James



This manual is an invaluable tool for business professionals moving into new leadership positions. The book's format has been designed by the book's seasoned executive coach to tackle one of the most important problems senior leaders face: effectively navigating career transitions. Given that 40% of CEOs fail within the first 18 months, the book seeks to offer readers practical ways and insights to help them avoid these mistakes.


Through well-researched strategies and real-life case studies from C-suite leaders, the author explains the importance of intentionality during onboarding and transitions. This guide is broken into clear sections, covering everything from the history of executive transitions to specific frameworks that companies use (or should use) for smoother role changes. The book introduces the “Double Diamond Framework©,” a seven-phase process that has been proven to guide executives effectively through their transition.


The book emphasizes the high cost of failure and provides detailed explanations for the primary causes of executives' challenges in adopting new positions. It gives ideas that might help CEOs approach their transitions with confidence by identifying frequent issues.  The book takes a more comprehensive approach because it acknowledges the emotional and mental strains that accompany a change in leadership.


One great thing about the guide is that it lays out the last 90 days of an executive's job, making sure they leave on the best possible note and setting themselves and their replacements up for success. This, along with ideas about the moral problems leaders face, makes the book appealing to a wide range of people.


Not only does this book offer direction, but it also serves as a source of motivation for those who are eager to succeed in new leadership roles. It is an ideal resource for any senior leader or HR professional who is involved in executive transitions.
