First 90 Days as HR Leader
What to assess, who to talk to, and what to build first when you’re the first (or new) HR leader at a growing company.
What’s Inside
Drawn from real experience leading HR functions at Stanford, McKesson, T-Mobile, and The Cheesecake Factory. This playbook gives you a structured approach to your first 90 days — from stakeholder mapping and the seven-domain assessment to building your roadmap and delivering quick wins.
Organized into three phases: Listen and Assess (weeks 1–4), Diagnose and Prioritize (weeks 5–8), and Build the Roadmap (weeks 9–12). Each phase includes specific actions, stakeholder conversations to have, and common mistakes to avoid.
The most common first-90-day mistake: starting to build before you understand the organization. This playbook prevents that.
