Help them identify their strengths and needs, anticipate barriers that might block career development and encourage greater ownership over their own career growth.

After Action Review
One of the key ideas at the heart of Lean Systems Management is embracing new knowledge with a growth mindset. When this happens, you’re creating an environment that fosters process improvement and positivity.
There are some great tools that can add to the fun and help cultivate that growth mindset. One tool I really enjoy is the After Action Review (AAR). Think of it like a casual chat or debrief where you reflect on what went down – how to do better next time.
I created my own AAR document with instructions on how to use it, plus a printable AND editable template so that you can customize the process for your own needs.

Strategic Roadmap for New Job Transition
30-60-90 Day Plan
While starting a new job or role can be exciting, it can also feel pretty overwhelming. Besides learning the company culture, new people, and processes, there is often the pressure to come up to speed quickly.
One resource I have leveraged during new job transitions is a book called The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins. I have turned to this resource every time I’ve started a new or different role. He talks about having a 30-60-90 day plan as a strategic roadmap for new employees, guiding them through their first three months on the job. It’s a check-in of sorts – for yourself!
Here you’ll find a printable PDF guiding you through the exercise, plus two versions of my worksheet – one with prompts and one that is blank if you prefer to write your own prompts.
