As long as there have been leaders，there have been leadership transitions．The changing of the guard and the challenges it poses for the new leader are as old as human society．Those challenges have not gotten any easier given the complexity of modern organizations and the speed at which business gets conducted．So if you feel that you are in over your head in your new position，you are in good company．

You've just been promoted to a new leadership position． You’re not yet su re of the chalIenges ahead or how you wilI meet them．All you know is that you have th ree months to get on top of the iob and move forward—or fail.
