This free download lays out the strategic steps a leader should take in their first 60 days of leading a new team. It is filled with tips and activities that managers can use to establish open communication, set clear strategic focus, and develop a healthy performance culture. The back half of the playbook is an Example Output based on a fictitious company to jumpstart your thinking and clarify how to complete each activity.

This playbook is a practical guide for Mid-level Leaders who need to translate strategy into action, align their teams, and deliver results. It is also a tool that Senior Leaders can share with their direct reports who are taking on a new role. Finally, it is a resource that HR and Talent Professionals can provide for individuals entering new leadership positions.

Yes! While the playbook is specifically designed for mid-level leaders, the tips and activities will also help new managers start off on the right foot and build momentum with their new direct reports.

Definitely! Even if you’ve been leading the same team for years, it’s always the right time to reenergize and align your people. If you have been leading the team for a while, we encourage you to be transparent and to invite them to be a part of the 60-day journey with you so that it's a collective transformation.

Absolutely! We are deep believers in openly sharing best practices. Feel free to share this document you with your manager, your peers, your team, or with anyone else who may benefit from the 60-day journey. We’re all in this together!

Nope. This is a free gift and we won’t share your information with anyone. We sincerely hope that the playbook will be useful, and if there’s anything else we can do to help, you can reach us at info@loboleaders.com.
