30-60-90 for Partner Leaders

Whenever someone takes on a new role — no matter how experienced they are — it’s essential to establish clear goals. A 30-60-90-day plan defines objectives and breaks them down into specific tasks for each month. This document provides clarity, not just for the new hire but for their team as well.

Use the 30-60-90-day plan for Partner Leaders template to outline the first three months in a partnerships role. As a hiring manager, fill out this template for your new hire. Set attainable overarching goals for their 30, 60, and 90-day milestones. Create a light outline for their first few weeks, but leave room for your new team member to break down their goals and build their own plan to achieve them.

If you’ve been hired for a new partnerships role and didn’t get a 30-60-90 from your manager, you can use this template to map out your first few months. Connect with your manager to set overall goals for your first three months, then work to break down those goals into smaller milestones.
