New Manager's First 90 Days
A Day-by-Day Plan to Structure Your First 1:1s, Set the Tone, Give Feedback That Lands, and Handle Your First Difficult EmployeeBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 2m
About this audiobook
You got the email, the new title, maybe a round of applause in a Slack channel -- and then silence about what to actually do next. Nobody taught you how to run a 1:1, how long to wait before changing anything, or what to do about the teammate who's quietly checked out since someone else got the job you just got. New Manager's First 90 Days is the day-by-day plan nobody handed you when you got promoted. Where most leadership books speak in abstractions about vision and influence, this one is built around the specific, recurring questions real first-time managers ask in r/managers and r/leadership: how to structure a 1:1, how to set the tone in week one, and how to handle the first real problem employee without a script. It also sits in a different lane than hard-conversation playbooks aimed at managers already deep in conflict -- this one starts on day one, before anything has gone wrong, and walks the full arc. Inside, you'll learn: Every chapter follows one new manager's real first 90 days, with a condensed Quick Reference in the back for the moment you need the script, the checklist, or the glossary fast.
