THE FIRST 90 DAYS OF LEADING

Nobody hands new managers a manual. This one fills that gap. THE FIRST 90 DAYS OF LEADING is a no-nonsense playbook for anyone stepping into management for the first time, built around the specific situations that actually trip up new managers, not abstract leadership theory. Inside, you'll learn how to: - Run your first week without over-promising or under-delivering - Turn dreaded meetings into ones your team actually wants to attend - Delegate real ownership instead of quietly doing your old job for your team - Manage former peers without losing the relationship - Give feedback that changes behavior, using a simple script - Set goals your team can actually hit, not vague aspirations - Manage up so your own manager can actually help you - Follow a week-by-week 90-day plan that turns every chapter into habit No motivational fluff, no leadership philosophy you have to develop before you can use this book. Just a specific, practical playbook for the job nobody trained you for, so that by day 90, none of it feels like a script anymore. It just feels like how you lead. Somewhere between your offer letter and your first Monday as a manager, there was supposed to be a manual. There wasn't. Most people get promoted into management because they were excellent individual contributors, and then they're handed a team, a headcount, and zero instruction on how the job actually works, as if competence at the old job automatically transfers to a completely different one. It doesn't. Managing is a distinct skill, and the good news is that it's a learnable one, not a personality you either have or don't. This book is the manual nobody handed you: a specific, no-nonsense playbook for your first ninety days, built around the situations that actually trip up new managers, not abstract leadership theory.
