Book Review - The First 90 Days [HD BizBlog- The Blog: Productivity in Context]

I just picked up this book, and was going to review it. Tim at My GTD Stuff has beat me to it:

Stuff for Getting Things Done: The First 90 Days - Success Strategies for New Leaders

One of the better books that I have read is called The First 90 Days - Success Strategies for New Leaders by Harvard professor Michael Watkins. The book is tailored to people who are new to leadership roles. This book is not only for new “people managers”, but many of the strategies discussed can be applied to just about anyone taking on a leadership role (e.g. Project Managers) or someone taking on a new role in their community (e.g. Cub Scout Den Leaders). The First 90 Days can be broken down into 5 main topics;

  • How to get yourself focused
  • How to learn your new role faster
  • How to choose the right strategy
  • How to make good things happen right away
  • How to build a winning team

Why do I bring this book up now? I am embarking upon a new role within the company I work for. In light of that, I thought it would be a good idea to break this book out of my library and brush up on some of the key concepts.
