IMD Professor and author of The First 90 Days, Michael Watkins, joins the show to break down what most leaders get wrong during transitions and how to turn change into growth. Learn about his hard-earned lessons on managing identity in upheaval, leading under pressure, and navigating the rise of AI and rapid disruption. 

We unpack key insights from his latest book, The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking, and why old ideas of high performance don’t hold up. Whether you’re stepping into a new role, coaching through change, or finding your next move, this episode offers tools to move forward with confidence.

Join us to explore:

• Turning disruption into momentum
