Starting a New Job? Here's a 90-Day Plan from Harvard

🧑🏻‍💻 Make a copy of the worksheet: www.jeffsu.org/how-to-onboard...
📘 Buy the book: amzn.to/3XzdZPA
In this video, I share 4 critical lessons from "The First 90 Days" by Dr. Michael Watkins, a former Harvard Business School professor.
We examine how new hires can swiftly reach the breakeven point-the point where you have produced as much value as you have received from your organization.
Firstly, we need to understand our own blindspots.
Secondly, we need a systematic plan to accelerate our learning. This involves the use of a 'Learning Agenda,' a structured set of questions to focus your learning during the onboarding process, enabling you to manage information overload effectively.
Thirdly, we discuss how to negotiate success with your manager, emphasizing the importance of setting the right expectations and regularly reviewing performance metrics.
Finally, we explore how to secure early wins with colleagues, underlining that positive first impressions formed within the first 30 days can set you up for long-term success.

    This is excellent. Usually books only talk to the leaders or trainers of the company (and not very well). This one actually talks to the employee so they can feel like they have some control in the situation. I'm hoping he has a book similar to this for the leaders and trainers that is like THIS bc the world is lacking those kinds of books (with actionable and straightforward processes).

    This is really great stuff, Jeff! I'm glad you're covering this topic :) One of my struggles when I first joined was feeling the urge to be productive as soon as possible. One thing I've come to accept is that sometimes being productive doesn't necessarily mean you have to produce something tangible. I guess this is where negotiating your success with your manager comes into play! :p

    Excellent video! I use these tips in Amplenote. I'm actually going through a career transition, from the music field to technology. In Amplenote, I can easily capture ideas, tips, thoughts, suggestions, things to read or do in the Jots session. As for the idea of ranking things to be resolved, I define it in the notes session, when an idea or thing to be resolved takes shape. I better refine my thoughts and actions, with the third session, the tasks. We can even connect tasks with note links. All action reviews are carried out in the calendar session, where I can configure them in different ways. This 90-day action plan will be much easier with Amplenote.

    Hi Jeff, great video, as usual. 😊 Belatedly realising its a new one! I'm at this point as about to move onto a new project. However, would also be interested in the "Jeff Su" take on how to successfully handover my part of the project that is continuing on, but particularly when there is no direct replacement (in short: big project team reducing to a core group that I will no longer be part of) Have applied your other trips (eg email etiquette and sheet labelling) when i started this role, so definitely valuing your input on going out with a bang.

But here's the thing, it seems to work like a charm with an external mouse - you know, those extra buttons and customizable options. But honestly, I'm all about the MacBook trackpad, it's just way more comfortable for me. Now, here's the kicker - can I somehow set up a middle-click function with a three-finger tap? I'm no tech whiz, so I'm hoping you can lend me a hand here. hoping for a reply, thanks! @JeffSu
