Onboarding New Hires

This pulls together onboarding strategies from 14 product leaders into a structured 30-60-90 day framework. Use it when you're ramping up a new hire, designing your own first 90 days, or trying to compress time-to-productivity. The source material is strong on specifics: Deb Liu's listening tour approach, Shishir Mehrotra's "golden rituals by first Friday" rule, Heidi Helfand's pairing strategy to avoid day-one isolation. It'll push you to engineer early wins, define success milestones before onboarding starts, and avoid the classic mistake of all tasks with no relationship building. Honest take: the anti-patterns section (overpromising during hiring, leaving people alone on day one) might be more immediately valuable than the frameworks.
