BOOK DESCRIPTION
Between 30 and 50% of senior leaders fail within their first 18 months, and it’s rarely for lack of skill or experience – the very things that won them the role. More often, it’s that they never fully understood the system they were stepping into.
Every organisation has its own history, its own unspoken dynamics, and its own way of deciding whether a new leader truly belongs. Misunderstand that, and even the strongest strategic plan struggles to take root.
Your First 60 Days makes the case for treating onboarding as something deeper than an induction or a fast start. Drawing on research with 25 organisations and over a decade of systemic coaching, it shows how to read the system you’re entering and integrate in a way that sets you up for success.
The book is built around three questions worth sitting with before you move:
To work through them, you’ll find Tess’s H.R.S.S. framework – Human, Relational, Systemic, Strategic – a practical lens for understanding what you’re inheriting and how to integrate.
Alongside it: real client stories you’ll recognise, reflective prompts at each stage, and a week-by-week companion guide to take into your own first 60 days.
