Overview

Transitioning to a new C-suite role is exhilarating, challenging, and demanding all at the same time-a unique combination of intense experiences that can be tough to manage, to say the least.

Ajit Kambil is the creator and a leader of Deloitte's program for helping executives like you transition into the very highest levels of your organization. In The Leadership Accelerator, he details the four critical competencies you should master in order to succeed, and he walks you through the process of building your expertise in these key areas: prioritize and manage time, the only irrecoverable asset for yourself and your organization; manage talent into the right places to deliver measurable results; manage relationships to build social capital and influence other C-suite members to get key agendas executed with the least resistance; and drive transformational change in your organization through effective strategies and catalyzing actions.

The Leadership Accelerator reveals the research and practices Kambil has undertaken for more than a decade to learn exactly how real leaders have successfully transitioned into high-level roles. Quick, action-oriented chapters conclude with clear takeaways and workout exercises that can help you build your transition leadership muscles and define your transition leadership strategies and work plans.
