First 90 days as a manager

Five new managers, six weeks. The hard parts of the first 90 days — one-to-ones, expectations, a first tough conversation, and the identity shift.

This is an example of a pod that could run on Podkin. It isn't taking bookings yet — request it and we'll open it when four people want it.
