Abstract

The First 100 Days on the Job' is for sustainability leaders - in organisations of any size or sector - who want to make an impact in their first one hundred days on the job, and set themselves up for long-term success. In the absence of complete and perfect information you will be expected to lead and to act, often in partnership with other businesses, government and civil society, and almost certainly by building relationships across functions, departments and geographies within your own organisation. It is the timing of your decision making that will set you apart. This book offers: 1) A process to make the most of your first 10, 60, 90 and 100 days 2) Some practical tools you can use to set priorities and manage your programme 3) Sources of research and information for measuring the impacts of your organisation 4) A heavy dose of realism about what can be done, to keep you sane - and links to some practical support and inspiration.
"Anne Augustine skilfully sets out how to approach a new sustainability assignment in a practical and humane manner. This is principled stuff, but it is not naive. Most impressively, the author manages to convey a vast amount of material in succinct form. Recommended." STEFAN STERN, Visiting Professor in Management Practice, Cass Business School, London "Whippet-smart, focused and pragmatic, this a vital read for anyone at the helm of a sustainability project."
