Creating learning plans for transitions

I work with a lot of leaders experiencing transitions. One of the most critical factors for a strong transition is a learning plan. Most organizations have some form of onboarding framework that can assist the leader in understand the role, but learning about the role is just one aspect of a successful transition. Creating a learning plan to assess the team from several vantage points is critical. The learning plan should include an assessment of the people, processes, systems, and strategy. A strong assessment can help a transitioning leader establish trust and create a strong initial plan as well as offer input to a longer term road map. The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins is a great read for leaders preparing for transition (https://hbr.org/books/watkins) . Ensure you have a thought partner who can help you reflect along the way.
