30, 60, 90 for a new role
Growth should be viewed as an optimization layer built on top of a core product that is already functioning effectively. It focuses on enhancing user experience, making interactions smoother and more intuitive, thereby improving user satisfaction and engagement. Key components such as search functionality, hint visibility, and user interface placement must evolve continuously to facilitate quicker discoveries and usability. The importance of a structured onboarding approach, specifically a 30, 60, 90-day plan, is highlighted. This plan emphasizes the need to listen and learn before taking significant action. In the first 30 days, one should engage in a listening tour, gathering insights from team members and understanding company culture and dynamics. This process allows for quick wins and fosters a reciprocal relationship by addressing team members' needs. The plan ensures that newcomers can make informed contributions without making avoidable mistakes, thereby establishing a foundation for impactful engagement within their roles.
