If you have just become a manager, or are about to, these are the places to start. Everything here is free and works on its own, whether or not you own the journal.
The two guides
- Your First 90 Days as a Manager: A Month-by-Month Guide
- Leading a Team for the First Time: Expectations, Culture and Trust
If you only have ten minutes
- Your first week as a manager: what to do on each of the first five days, and what to leave alone.
- Your first one-on-one with each team member: the questions that get real answers, and the ones that never do.
- How to write a 30-60-90 day plan: three phases, each ending in a decision.
For the full ninety days in a form you write in, see The First-Time Manager’s 90-Day Journal.
