SINK or SWIM

Sink or Swim
_
New job. New Boss. 12 weeks to get it right.

This book is pretty hands-on and easy to follow with its clear structure and layout.

I have searched and looked for good guide books for new hires for a while. “The First 90 Days “is good, but it's better for people in “management/leader position”. This is totally suitable for very new hire. It provides the weekly planning and suggestions focused on 5 main sink-and-swim skills: Goals, Time, Knowledge, Team, and Image.

Even through it's designed for facing the new job or new work situations, I would say it is also helpful as a guideline to periodically check our progress and performance up. : )
