Hello LinkedIn connections! | Sonu Goswami
Hello LinkedIn connections! Wishing you all a fantastic Saturday.😊As we kick off this beautiful morning, let's dive into this week's book summary 📙 discussion. This week's discussion tackles an important concept for anyone starting a new role: conquering those first 90 days. Hold on a sec, though! Forget the 'honeymoon period' associated with your notice –> these initial 90 days are a whole different ball game. Let's discuss starting a virtuous cycle in the important first 90 days. Typically, it takes mid-level leaders about 6 months to fully deliver positive net value after being hired or promoted. However, the goal in any transition is to reach the breakeven point swiftly, where the employee's contribution matches the company's investment. Applying the 90-day framework can expedite reaching this point by up to 40%. Dr. Michael Watkins' *The First 90 Days*📙is your vital guide to mastering any career transition providing a roadmap for success from pre-job prep to seamless integration with your new team and culture. Let's dive in and discover how! Master your first 90 days with these 3️⃣ frameworks: ✅ 1.Pre-work checklist: Prepare mentally, assess challenges, & adjust your network. ✴ Mental Shift: Celebrate & accept your new role. ✴ Challenge Map: Identify technical, political, and cultural hurdles across departments. ✴ Strengths Audit: Analyze how your strengths can help or hinder you now. ✴ Learning Mindset: Embrace learning to adapt to new requirements. ✴ Network Refresh: Find new advisors and mentors for your new responsibilities. ✴ Manage Gatekeepers: Set expectations with former colleagues who might resist your transition. ✴ Seek Help Proactively: Utilize resources like leadership programs to thrive in your new role. ✅ 2. STARS model: Prioritize tasks by analyzing situations (Start-up, Turnaround, etc.). ✴ Start-up: Launching something new -> a business, product, team, or project. ✴ Turnaround: Fixing something that's struggling -> like a brand, business unit, or product line. ✴ Accelerated growth: Making a successful venture even bigger and faster. ✴ Realignment: Restoring a once-successful business to its former glory. ✴ Sustaining success: Keeping a thriving legacy business on track and improving it further. ✅ 3. Prioritize *The 5 Conversations* to build strong relationships with your boss and team for effective onboarding. ✴ Situational diagnosis: Discuss your STARS analysis with your boss and team to align perspectives. ✴ Expectations: Clarify what your boss expects from you and negotiate realistic timelines. ✴ Resources: Identify necessary tools and personnel, and negotiate for them. ✴ Style: Establish communication norms and understand management approaches. ✴ Personal development: Initiate discussions about strengths, weaknesses, and career growth opportunities. 🎯Lesson: Let go of past success formulas. Embrace the new environment and explore novel approaches for growth in your new role. | 53 comments on LinkedIn
