Full framework →Template: 90-day plan
Structure your plan in four blocks:
- People (1:1s established, one development conversation per report, one team norm agreed)
- Performance (objectives reviewed, feedback given on one difficult topic, appraisal prep started early)
- Operations (budget review with administrator, one process simplified, stakeholder map for top file)
- Self (peer manager coffee monthly, one EU Learn module booked, one boundary protected)
Management rituals to calendar now
Before closing this lesson, block recurring calendar slots: weekly 1:1s, monthly team meeting, monthly budget check, quarterly strategy conversation with director. Rituals prevent management from being crowded out by operations.
Staying connected
Management excellence is a career-long practice. Revisit modules as your role evolves. Share this course with colleagues entering management — collective standards rise when peers expect excellence from each other.
