"the book" for all executives and managers

It is not a book focus on "managing career transmission" as suggested by the title of the book. Actually it is the guide book on all management related topics on management effeciveness, leadership, negotiation and organizational behavior. Very clearly articulated, easy to read and down to earth. Another excellent example of Harvard's high intellegence assets.

Simple, Straightforward, Good at all levels

This book does a great job at simplifying and getting to the core issues of being in a new position. All of the suggestions in the book are common sense, but most likely things you'd overlook when taking a new job. The author uses great examples from people at all levels. I highly recommend this book to anyone in a new position, whether you are a first time teamlead or a new CEO.

Great on its own -- outstanding in tandem

As an executive recruiter, this is an excellent book for insights on starting the new job. As the executives who I place can tell you, every new job situation is different and canned formulas don't always work. I highly recommend combining this book with "Sudden Impact on the Job" by Susan Quandt - it's a powerful tandem. Quandt gets at the varied contexts under which new executives start their jobs by sharing the real-life stories of many prominent CEOs' experiences on the new job.

Good reminder and guide

Something like this is a fine reminder to reset and properly engage in a new position. I found it helpful although not radically innovative. If you are simply looking for a nice reminder/guide of how to approach a new position, I would recommend it, just don't expect too much.

Great Topic - kudos Mr Watkins!

My husband took the book out from the library for me and after reading the first few chapters I decided that this was a book to own. As you will keep going back to re-read the roadmap to help you on your new venture(s).
Very insightful for all levels not just C-Level positions.
