About this resource

Names the shared reality across all these roles: real responsibility, little or no training, and pressure to prove yourself. Sets the mindset for the first 30 days: learn before you lead, and slow down before you speed up.

How to take honest inventory of your new role before touching anything: obligations, commitments, ongoing problems, relationships, and expectations. Includes a checklist for surfacing what previous leaders left behind, good and bad.
