The First 90 Days Transition Roadmap

[a.e.]

1. Learn all you can about the organization and your role

2. Gain alignment with management, peers, and customers (stakeholders in general)

3. Establish directions ... identify priorities, establish a plan and a vision

4. Assessing, reshaping and aligning your new team (or Direct Reports)

5. Secure early wins

6. Create alliances .. with powerful people in the organization

After joining an IT Dept that had zero documentation (all in the Director's brain, he'd been there 20 yrs and built everything in-house), I was hospitalized in my first 90 days. As their first Product Owner, charged with process improvements and unrealistic expectations, it impeded my progress in a brand new, very ambiguous, loosely defined role, working in an uncooperative environment. My boss has never "forgiven" me for getting ill, and I carry the scars, literally and figuratively, with me forever. It's very unfair. This video is accurate about the demands of leading a dept you're unfamiliar with, but I was hoping to find some advice for coping with and resetting unrealistic expectations (the "magic wand" theory)

Very good summary. I wish there was a zoomed-out view of the whole picture to summarize.
