This was an amazing video. I watched this several times before prepping for a presentation on this same question, and it was a big factor in my getting the job. Thank you, Arnon.

[@HannahTran]

Thank you so much Arnon for this. I watched this multiple times and I love that your true passion is developing talent on your team, which isn't something every leader cares about.

Notes on this Talk for a Quick Reference Ted Talk- 0-90 in 18 minutes: The First 90 Days Arnon Kraft 1985- Innovation- Back to the future comes out - “Take On Me” First cartoon and live action music video Being new can be hard 2011- 3 things to consider with starting again- Leaving means having to re-establish who you are (Reputation), figuring out how to be successful (Commitments & Purpose) and what is cool, acceptable, and will make me fit in (Corporate or Team Culture). Wrong Ways people react to being the “New Guy” 1) Hide and seek- people who come in and shake hands but then disappear 2) I’m Still New…- You can only be new for so long3) Nostalgic- "In my previous team..." people, people who are stuck in their old position4) Superheroes- annoying, they know the right answer even though they don’t know anything yet Cheat Sheet to Starting Out 1st 30 days- Listen and Observe: Find out who is who and what they do. How everything works in the company as a whole, procedures and rules.1st 60 days- Understand: Use what you’ve learned to figure out the background reason behind how things are done1st 90 days- Create-Add Value: Solve some small problems that you have noticed and that you feel you now understand to solve Tips: Find a mentor- you don’t have to do this yourself. Make friends.Reputation is built over time1st you establish your credibility- do what you say you will do (Follow-through)2nd you earn their respect- show respect and act in a respectful way3rd you earn their trust- don’t get involved in gossip or politics. If someone tells you something in confidence- keep that confidence. 4th you gain inclusion- people will feel you are trustworthy and start to talk in front of you. They will include you in meetings and conversations.5th you gain influence- people will ask your opinion on things allowing you to help them make decisions.6th you have the power to make an impact- people will trust you to make decisions and implement plans. Push yourself to stay out of your comfort zone. Be flexible. Take deep breathesGround yourself- use gravity Give of your time and attention (Commitment to better and advancement)Your careers are a marathon- Pace Yourself- the 1st 90 days happen over and over even within the same job- every time you meet new people, start a new project, join a new team etc.

[@jaberah3]

3:19 I wouldn't put it like that. It's more like swimming with sharks for 90 days just to see if you're not careful and accidentally hit something underwater and bleed.

[@dtabib2704]

Start at 9:48

[@cosmicmuse2900]

The speaker does not look like he was around in 1985 either. He looks quite young.

[@jaberah3]

12:47 How do I know that peer has my interest in mind? What if they deceive me?

[@arnonkraft2666]

That's a fair question Hamed, I guess you don't. At least not at first but I also trust that you are a good judge of character and can tell when someone has your best interest in mind or don't. And if that person didn't - then at least you know who to stay away from going forward. I also have to say that from my experience it is true that sometimes people's advice wont be in your best interest, but it is seldom that people will try to specifically deceive you.

did your manager forced you to watch this ? 😒
