In this segment of his leadership video, Tom Krieglstein explains the sixth key to a successful leadership transition: establishing clear expectations. He advises that organizations should explicitly define the new leader’s role, responsibilities, and realistic timelines for the transition period. By doing so, they prevent early‑stage confusion and create a solid foundation for the incoming leader’s success, likening the process to setting the rules of a game so everyone knows how to win. Krieglstein supports this claim with a statistic from the American Management Association, which found that leaders who have clear expectations are 50% more effective in their roles.

Everyone needs to know how to play to win. In fact, the American Management association, they found that leaders who have clear expectations are 50% more effective in their role.
