This week
Management routineThe first 90 days
The skills nobody handed you with the title
The habits that made you a great individual contributor are not the ones that make you a good manager. Your job is no longer to do the work. It is to set clear direction, develop your people, and make fair calls about performance.
Without a standard to follow, most new managers improvise. Feedback gets avoided, goals stay vague, and the team drifts. You do not need years of trial and error. You need a clear playbook you can apply this week.
Get these three right first
- Set clear, measurable goals so your team knows what good looks like
- Run a real weekly 1-1, not a status update, so nothing festers
- Give specific feedback early, while it is still small
Get these three right, and most of the first-90-days chaos takes care of itself.
Two ways to learn it
Every new manager learns the job somehow
The difference is who pays for the learning curve: your team, or a system you run from day one.
Learning it the hard way
- Improvise, and hope the team is patient
- Feedback gets avoided until it is a problem
- Goals stay vague, so nothing quite lands
- Learn 1-1s and reviews live, on your team
Learning it with Monday Simon
- A clear playbook you can apply this week
- A weekly rhythm for 1-1s and feedback
- Goals your team can actually deliver
- Ask Simon the moment you are stuck

FAQ
FAQ
Common questions from new managers.
I was just promoted. Where do I start?
Start with People Management Fundamentals in the Academy. It is free, self-paced, and built so you can apply it to your team the same week.
Is the Academy really free?
Yes. All six modules are free, forever. You only pay when you want the co-pilot to help you run it with your team week to week, or to add coaching with a Monday Simon coach.
I barely have time to manage, let alone learn. Does this fit?
That is the point. The co-pilot runs the routine (goals, 1:1s, feedback) so your week goes to the calls only you can make. Learn a framework, apply it the same week.
What does $120 a year include?
The co-pilot for a full year: goals, 1:1s, feedback, development and Ask Simon. Coaching is a separate $99 add-on.
In which languages is it available?
The Academy and coaching are currently available in English, French, and Thai.
