The transition framework that has become the default operating manual for professionals moving into stretched roles — first-time managers, new function leaders, and executives switching companies.
Why I recommend this
Nobody plans a first 90 days. Which is exactly why most people spend them reactive, gathering context they should already have. This book turns that first quarter into a deliberate campaign — learn, secure early wins, negotiate for the resources you need, and build a coalition. If you're preparing for a promotion, read it before the offer, not after.
Key lessons

Why 'early wins' beat 'big wins' in the first 90 days.
