Is the playbook free?

Yes. After submitting the form you will receive it by email instantly. In return we only ask that you remember us when you think a leader's transition might benefit from support.

Does the PDF contain the full methodology?

The playbook contains a practical 90-day roadmap and a stakeholder mapping template. The full assessment rubrics, team evaluation matrices and 1:1 coaching question banks are delivered as part of our corporate engagements.

Is it only for HR leaders?

No. The playbook is designed for any newly appointed executive — CEO, GM, director, C-Level or functional leader. It is not HR-specific.

What about individual support?

IC Consulting works at the corporate level. For individual career transition coaching, support is available through ilhancaglar.com.

FOR NEWLY APPOINTED LEADERS

The First 90 Days.

The window where you set the tone of your new role.

Stepping into a new role is one of the most critical transitions in a career. The signals you send in the first 90 days shape how your team, peers and board will see you for the next two years.

Why the first 90 days matter.

Harvard Business Review and Korn Ferry research show that 40% of newly appointed leaders fail within their first 18 months. The reason is rarely capability — it is transition management. The first 90 days is the window of irreversible signals.

WHO THIS PLAYBOOK IS FOR.

01Leaders transitioning into a new CEO, GM or C-Level role.

02Executives stepping into their first director seat.

03Senior professionals joining a new organisation through an internal or external move.

ROADMAP

DAY 0–30

Listen, Observe, Map

Resist fast decisions. Invest in understanding stakeholders, culture and existing pain points first. Mark early wins — do not yet act on them.

DAY 31–60

Prioritise, Align

Turn the signals from your first 30 days into clear priorities. Write the expectations contract with your team and your boss. Launch quick wins.

DAY 61–90

Execute, Own

By day 90, deliver a visible win and a structural change. How your team describes you at this point sets the foundation for the next 12 months.
