In sintesi

The first 90 days in a new role determines success or failure. Executives call it 'the onboarding window', your last chance to prove yourself before expectations solidify. Best practices: (1) learn the organization (history, politics, priorities), (2) build relationships (1:1s with peers, skip-level, leadership), (3) identify quick wins (30-day mission), (4) clarify your mission (what's success?), (5) contribute (ship something meaningful by day 90). Practitioners who master onboarding are promoted 2 levels faster than peers. This skill is critical for executives and individual contributors changing companies or roles.

Cos'è First 90 Days Onboarding

The first 90 days in a new role is a critical period where expectations are highest and impression-forming happens fastest. Michael Watkins' framework emphasizes: (1) Secure early wins (visible deliverables that prove you deliver), (2) Deepen stakeholder relationships (1:1s with peers, leadership, cross-functional partners), (3) Learn the organization (history, culture, politics, priorities), (4) Clarify your mission (what's success?), (5) Adapt your leadership style to the organization. Practitioners who master this process are promoted faster because they establish credibility, understand culture, and contribute immediately.

❓ Domande frequenti

What's the difference between onboarding and orientation?
Orientation: admin stuff (HR paperwork, office setup, systems access). Onboarding: strategic (understanding org, building relationships, early wins). Orientation is 1 day; onboarding is 90 days.
What's a quick win and why does it matter?
Quick win: visible, achievable project (2-4 weeks). Proves you deliver. Examples: fix long-standing bug, streamline process, improve docs. Builds credibility before tackling harder problems.
Should I propose changes in my first 30 days?
No. Listen and learn first. Understand why things are the way they are (might be good reasons). Propose changes after 60-90 days when you understand context.
How do I build credibility fast?
Deliver what you promise (start small), be transparent, ask good questions, do your homework before meetings. Credibility = consistency over time.
What if I'm struggling in the first 90 days?
Tell your manager early. 'I'm confused about X, what should I focus on?' Better to clarify now than fail at day 91.
