Just promoted to supervisor or shift lead? This workbook walks you through your first 90 days, one short step at a time, with no fluff and no motivational-poster talk. It was written for frontline settings like restaurants, hotels, plants and field crews.
HOW IT WORKS: about 10 minutes a day, plus a short reflection at the end of each week.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
- Week 1, day by day: what to do, who to meet, what to watch, and a checklist for each day
- Week 1 confidence and role-clarity check-in
- Weeks 2-4: one-on-ones with every team member, quick wins, building trust
- Days 31-60: standard work, coaching on the floor, feedback that works (3 worked examples with what to say if they push back), your first hard conversation (a sample script and a prep checklist), and a 60-day review
- Days 61-90: developing people, delegating (a worked example with the exact handoff words), building your bench, preparing your 90-day review
- Leader identity reflection and a "next 90 days" planning page
- Templates: 30/60/90-day check-ins, one-on-one meeting, new-hire training plan, safety walk checklist, safety walk checklist, WIP shift transfer procedure and log (NEW), one-page SOP
- The research behind it, in plain language (role clarity, psychological safety, goal setting, if-then plans, checklists)
