Your first conversations with your team can shape how they experience your leadership.

This practical guide helps new leaders hold meaningful one-to-one conversations with each team member during their first 30 days. It includes thoughtful questions to help you get to know your people, understand what is working, uncover challenges and learn more about the team and organisation.

You’ll also find practical preparation tips, suggested opening and closing scripts, space to capture notes and actions, and guidance on building trust from the start.

Because your job in the first 30 days isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to listen, learn and build strong foundations.
