[quote=Anonymous]30 days: learn

- schedule meet and greets with each staff member
- take them to lunch
- identify their roles 
- ask old managers for performance feedback on staff to gauge where the team is 
- ask each person what theyd like to work on but arent 
- ask each team member to present a deep dive on their area of expertise to get you up to speed

day 30 to 45
- lay out a strategy 
- build consensus from the bottom up with your team first
- then allow your team to build each component relevant to their area
- the team, not you, presents to the executives to get buy in

day 45 to 60 
- design a strategy to implement
- lay it out with the right resources and alignment
- go back to what you learned in day 1 to 30 and listen to the feedabck you got on what people wanted to work on
- find ways to align the team against interests and skills

day 60
- begin executing strategy
- set up weekly touchbases with each team member
- allow them to present updates to exec staff

thats basically how you do it
