Mastering Your First 90 Days: The Critical Launch Window

The moment you step into a new leadership role, an invisible timer starts counting down. Those initial 90 days will define your trajectory more powerfully than you might imagine. Why? Because first impressions stick, patterns get established, and momentum builds-either for success or struggle. Think about it: when was the last time you saw someone recover from a disastrous first few months in a new position? It rarely happens. With the average executive experiencing over 13 major role transitions during their career, mastering this transition period isn't just helpful-it's essential. Whether you're joining a new company, taking on a promotion, or leading through organizational change, these crucial first three months represent your greatest opportunity to establish credibility, build relationships, and set the right direction.
