Leadership transition: a 90-day plan

Set a useful rhythm

A transition is not a race to prove yourself. Use the first month to listen, the second to test assumptions and the third to review what is working. Identify who needs to be heard and choose one achievable next-week action. Adapt the pace to the role and existing commitments.

Your milestones

First 30 days: What will you learn or understand?

By day 60: What will you test or align?

By day 90: What outcome will you review?
