Title: I did not learn anything new from this book
Review: I felt "The First 90 Days" was full of common sense on how to succeed in a new position. It also offered half-hearted examples of why some executives failed. For instance, some of the advice I paraphrased below:- Figure out what makes your employees tick and how they fit into the role you have for them.- Understand that what helped you succeed in the last position might be your downfall in the new position.- Identify those who support or oppose you or who could do either depending on whether you can convince them to be with you or not.The text was so "blah" that it was hard to be engaged in the book and none of the advice that was peppered throughout was enlightening. I really think a high-level manager would be disappointed in reading this.
