“Remember: your first 30 days are mostly spent listening, learning, and gathering context! Don’t feel pressured to action immediately. It’s a totally different role for sure having been through the same thing 5 months ago. Highly recommend this book”

Consider Good to Great by Jim Collins. Recommended by 32 sources.
“The book walks you through a multi-year research project, contrasting spectacular performers with mere survivors. The core insight—that sustained greatness hinges on disciplined people, thought, and action—feels sturdy and actionable. But the book’s arguments rely on retrospective selection of companies, and some of its darlings later faltered. You’ll find a methodical, almost monastic tone that rewards patience but may irritate if you want contemporary, tech-savvy lessons.”
