The first 90 days in government : critical success strategies for new public managers at all levels by Peter H. Daly and Michael Watkins and reviewed by David Angerer

Abstract: The reader is shown the importance of getting up to speed on the organization's history, technology, culture and politics, and how to avoid traps that can frustrate these attempts during the first 90 days on the job--precisely the time when we are most isolated and least likely to "know what we don't know" about our new environment.
