Abstract
This chapter describes the taking charge process that we discerned from our research data and from our interaction with executives. Taking charge is a longer process than simply the first 90 days of a new appointment. We provide an overview of the taking charge process, identifying three distinct phases: Entry, Stabilization and Renewal. For each phase, key activities and outcomes are identified and these are explored in the context of the transition types experienced by CIOs.
