The Leadership Accelerator
Four critical competencies to successfully transition into your new executive role
Transitioning into a new C-suite role is exhilarating, challenging, and demanding all at the same time—a unique combination of intense experiences that may be tough to manage, to say the least. Published by McGraw Hill, The Leadership Accelerator book reveals the research and practices that Deloitte’s Ajit Kambil has undertaken for more than a decade to learn exactly how real-world leaders have successfully transitioned into high-level roles.
The Leadership Accelerator is a smart little book that starts with a fact: transitions are hard. They require a different set of skills and tactics, geared to establishing new habits, new expectations, and new relationships. Ajit has garnered the data, experience, and wisdom needed to make such transitions successful. You should have this practical workbook by your side on day one.

About the book
Transitioning to a new C-suite role is exhilarating, challenging, and demanding all at the same time—a unique combination of intense experiences that can be tough to manage, to say the least. The skills and actions you need to succeed during your first year are different from those required after you settle in. If you don’t do it right at the start, you’ll find it much more difficult to effectively lead your organization for the long term.
Ajit Kambil is the creator and a leader of Deloitte’s program for helping executives like you transition into the very highest levels of your organization. In The Leadership Accelerator, he details the four critical competencies you should master in order to succeed, and he walks you through the process of building your expertise in these key areas:
- Prioritize and manage time, the only irrecoverable asset for yourself and your organization
- Develop talent into the right places to deliver measurable results
- Manage relationships to build social capital and influence other C-suite members to get key agendas executed with the least resistance
- Drive transformational change in your organization through effective strategies and catalyzing actions
Kambil’s model is based on his extensive research and insights from Deloitte’s Transition Labs, personalized one-day workshops delivered to over 4,000 executives. The Leadership Accelerator reveals the research and practices Kambil has undertaken for more than a decade to learn exactly how real-world leaders have successfully transitioned into high-level roles. Quick, action-oriented chapters conclude with clear takeaways and exercises that can help you transition and define your leadership strategies and work plans.
