The Leadership Transition Guide: Whole Human Leadership in Your First 90 Days - Paperback

by Victoria Pelletier (Author)

The first 90 days in a new leadership role will define everything that follows - not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you become, how you show up, and whether you earn the right to lead before you start trying to change things.

The Leadership Transition Guide is the practical playbook for experienced mid-level and senior leaders stepping into a new role. Drawing on 30 years of C-suite leadership and 40+ mergers and acquisitions, Victoria Pelletier gives leaders the frameworks, tools, and honest guidance to navigate the critical transition window with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

Structured around three phases - Listen & Learn, Assess & Connect, and Plan & Commit - the guide takes leaders from their first day through a credible 90-day strategy, covering how to diagnose what's actually true about a new organization, build trust before building change, assess their team with honesty and humanity, and establish the leadership brand they want to be known for.

Grounded in Whole Human Leadership - the philosophy that the most effective leaders bring their full selves to work, not just their title - this is not another generic onboarding checklist. It is a direct, story-driven, accountability-focused guide for leaders who want to get it right the first time.
