When you enter a new job
“Forget the vision, Make the Connections” Mindy Hall, author Leading with Intention: Every Moment is a Choice
First 90 days:
Reach out and down: ask questions, listen, identify
sacred cows
Learn the culture and history
Identify and pursue some small, visible wins, but no
major changes yet
Between day 90 and 120:
Unveil changes: new plans, initiatives, agenda,
strategies

In the major leagues athletes have coaches, mentors,
psychologists, personal assistants, etc.
