Being the freshly minted manager feels a lot like juggling flaming torches while everyone watches.
Your inbox is exploding, performance targets are blurry, and the team (some older than you) expects answers now.
Good news: great leadership isn’t about pretending you have every answer.
It’s about knowing exactly where to look—fast—and stacking small wins that build trust.
Below are three battle-tested tools to help you do just that:
1. Crush Your First 90 Days” Email Mini-Sequence
Five bite-sized emails packed with ready-to-use plays from The First 90 Days Success Workbook.
2. First 90 Days Success Checklist
A printable, three-phase roadmap that turns Day-1 nerves into Day-90 high-fives.
3. Personal Operating Manual Template
A fill-in-the-blanks document in Notion that shows teammates exactly how to work with you. Skip months of trial-and-error and earn the “mind-reader” badge from your team by Week 2.
Why These Work
“Am I good enough?” → Tame imposter syndrome with visible quick wins.
“What should I do first?” → Clear priorities so context-switching doesn’t fry your brain.
“Will they respect me?” → Build credibility with scripts for tough feedback and managing up.

Stop guessing. Lead with confidence in your first 90 days.
