The First 90 Days, Updated and Expanded: Proven Strategies for Getting Up to Speed Faster and Smarter

Great book if you are looking to move up in your career following a new position. Beware though, that it makes many references to the charts, tables, graphs, lists, and figures contained within the actual book. Unfortunately, the audiobook does not come with these images which I felt were extremely important to the application of the book. It would be great if a pdf was provided which contained these items, but instead, I had to go out and buy the physical book as well. If you can find your way around this issue, it is well worth it. It does a good job of creating a visible plan for you to follow to ensure your success and upward mobility within a company. Don't wait until after you get the job to get this book though. I wish I would have read it before I even got the position to be able to go in with a legitimate plan and purpose. Instead I got it six weeks after I started which still helped tremendously.

Contains a lot of great ideas, but makes many references to worksheets or visual information that is not available in audio format.

The audible version does not provide me access to the multitude of charts and tables that the author talks about. Those are the core of any action one can take after listening to this book. Amazon should atleast provide a PDF with those tables and charts.

They are referenced quite a bit, but aren't available. And, the audiobook costs more than the printed version.

This is a very practical book, filled with tools that can be put to practice the moment you're done with it. The examples that it presents are very useful in tiying up all the theory it adresses.

I've read reviews that complain the audio book makes reference to graphs and charts not available in the audio format. Though this is true, they can be downloaded as PDF in audible.com

The book reads like a textbook - mechanically going through a checklist of items to consider and do. The book should have focused either on new managers or seasoned managers. Advice like understand the business, ask questions, listen, under promise, and over deliver is useful only to a novice. Then there is advice for leaders at the other end of the spectrum. For example, if you have a new leadership position in another country, you need to consider your family and how they will adapt to the change. There will be professional changes (trying to lead people of a different culture) and personal changes (moving your family and living in a new environment).

I found this read to be a hard read but the information worth putting up with the dry reading. It was very informative and helped me see where I could have improved in previous employment. I would recommend this book to a friend.

Yes, no question if they are taking on a new role. It helped me greatly to plan the first 90 days after promotion

The content was good, and the way the tables were read in this audio flowed well with the entire reading of the book. The narrator's voice was a bit dull/boring and didn't seem to fluctuate very much.

I am preparing for a new position in management. I highly recommend this book. It is a must-read for anyone looking at a new position or new leadership role f you want to excel 2 and they was a kid of level position. Even people who have never thought about the first 90 days of any new position!! ;)
