The First 90 Days – Why Every Executive Needs a Plan
Landing a new executive role is exciting, but it’s also high-pressure. The first 90 days set the tone for your entire leadership journey. Without a plan, even experienced executives risk losing credibility fast.
Here’s why every executive needs a 90-day plan — and how coaching helps make it stick.
- First Impressions Are Everything
– Teams and boards form opinions quickly.
– Coaching helps you establish trust, credibility, and alignment within weeks. - Early Wins Build Momentum
– Success in the first 30–60 days creates long-term buy-in.
– Coaches help identify “quick wins” that showcase leadership ability. - Structured Plans Prevent Overwhelm
– Executives are often pulled in multiple directions.
– A 90-day plan keeps you focused on priorities, not distractions. - Coaching Adds Accountability
– Many leaders create plans but fail to execute.
– Coaching ensures follow-through with weekly check-ins and strategy refinement.
