▶️ FIRST 30 DAYS FOCUS ON COVERING THE DIMENSIONS OVER DEPTH
When you’re new, it’s tempting to put on horse blinders and concentrate on your role as a sole focus, as it feels both productive and reassuring. However, you cannot improve your judgment without understanding the broader context of other roles.
Take advantage of the first 30 days as an opportunity to meet people, map out the business equation, and test out the product or service from a neutral & fresh perspective.
Document your learning and try producing a list or database of it that can be used as a reference point for you and any new hires subsequently.
▶️ NEXT 30-60 DAYS FOCUS ON THE DEPTH OF YOUR ROLE
Early successes are probably one of the most important and effective ways to establish credibility and build momentum, positioning you for future success.
Mark your debut with a good starter project and find something that is fast & achievable, that generates clear results, helps the business or the people, avoiding controversial changes to start with.
Getting started with a small, undeniable value will jumpstart your trust battery and help you to reach the level of trust & credibility you need to push bigger changes in the future.
▶️ NEXT 60-90 DAYS FOCUS ON AND NOT TELLING
Changemakers are different from people who only talk about the need for it. Strike a balance between the two.
Know the why and how of something before making a change, before you propose to show how it can be changed.
Are those who made what you want to change on the same page about the issue? What level of involvement are they seeking? No one likes to be surprised.
Don’t be afraid of changing your mind if new information comes along
