Leadership transitions. What senior executives overlook

Leadership transitions are among the most critical – and most underestimated – moments in a senior leader’s career. Despite their impact, a large proportion of executives report feeling unprepared when stepping into new roles. 

What is often overlooked: transitions are not just about changing positions. They require a shift in how leaders think, act, and define their role. 

In this 45-minute webinar, Dr. Nora Grasselli (Lecturer in Leadership, ESMT Berlin) explores how leaders can navigate transitions more deliberately when moving into roles with greater scope, complexity, and enterprise-level responsibility. The session concludes with a live Q&A and a short introduction to selected advanced management programs.
