The First 90 Days

Adam Ashton & Adam Jones
About this episode

The First 90 Days is effective to help new leaders — from first-time managers to CEOs — understand the skills and factors that ease the transition process of their leadership journey. A long career at a single company is increasingly becoming a history. Employees usually experience many transitions, especially those in leadership roles. The ability to adjust quickly and effectively into a new role has become a critical skill to thrive in your career. 


If the president of the United States gets 100 days to prove himself, you get about 90 days. 


Every new leader needs to become quickly familiar with the new organisation to secure wins and build supportive coalitions. And this book provides guidelines for translating these principles to fit your own situation.
