First 90 Days - Critical Success Strategies

Leaders are often appointed into new positions to transform their organizations. But there isn't much guidance available on how to manage transitions effectively particularly if the incumbent is new to the organization. A "sink or swim" managerial culture is often prevalent in most companies. Transitions are treated as testing grounds for the new leaders.

Too many high-potential leaders sink during these periods when they didn't have to, due to the non-supportive culture and lack of guidance. There wasn't any specific methodology or framework available for managing transitions into new leadership roles because of the different types of transition situations involved. 

Crowe Jamaica recommend  14 critical success strategies for leaders to manage their  new roles in various transition environments efficiently. By following these critical strategies in the first 90 days of their new roles, new leaders can maximize their chances of success. These success strategies are:

1. Avoiding Common Traps
2. Failing to Focus
3. Not Taking the Business Situation into Account
4. Not Adjusting to the Culture
