Congratulations — you're a manager.
You started a new job. They handed you a team. Here's what to do next.
Not sure about the team yet?
Fair enough - you didn't hire them. You still don't know who's good, who's drifting, or who used to want your job. But you're going to have to figure it out somehow.
Feel like the clock is ticking?
Your boss may say there's no pressure. But you feel it anyway – the probation review, those early-tenure expectations. It's the most important time to start strong.
What you get
We can help.
New Team, Now What? is a complete kit for your first 90 days as a new manager.
New Team, Now What?

Four card decks
Four best-selling decks from The Unstuck Box®: One-to-Ones, Team Building, Conflict Resolution, and Performance Improvement. Each contains prompts for conversations that will shape your new team for the better.
12 Week Email Course

The four physical decks
Every box in the bundle solves a problem.
Four best-selling Unstuck Box decks give you prompts for the conversations a new manager cannot afford to wing.
Run better regular conversations.
Use it for trust, priorities, feedback, energy, and the questions that make 1:1s actually useful.
Get people talking quickly.
Use it when you inherit a team that needs connection, context, and a reason to speak honestly.
Name tension without making it worse.
Use it to surface what people are avoiding, reduce defensiveness, and move the conversation forward.
Handle underperformance clearly.
Use it for expectations, accountability, improvement plans, and direct feedback that still sounds human.
The 12 weeks
One email every week. Twelve weeks in, you're flying.
The curriculum is calendar-locked to your first 90 days. You always know what to pay attention to this week.
In your inbox
One job, one Monday, one next move.
Each email tells you what to notice this week, which deck to open, and what should be true by Friday.

Questions
The honest FAQ.
I haven't started the new job yet. Is it too early?
No. That's the right time. The first week is for the day before you walk in and the first conversations you need to handle.
What if I'm not at week 1 anymore?
Start where you are. The book is designed to be opened at the moment of need, and the weekly emails keep you moving without a catch-up backlog.
How do the emails arrive?
You get a welcome email after purchase. Then each Monday email gives you this week's job, the cards to pull, and what should be true by Friday.
Is this a subscription?
No. One purchase gets the decks, the field-book materials, and the 12-week email program.
Can my company expense it?
Yes. You will receive an order receipt for the bundle that can be submitted against learning and development budgets.
