You're Not Imagining It.

Three months in is when new manager problems become visible, and four to six months in is when they become expensive. The team starts going around them instead of through them. Decisions slow down. One or two strong contributors quietly start interviewing elsewhere. Most owners feel the shift before they can name it.

This 3-minute readiness check uses the same behavioral, emotional intelligence, and Maxwell Leadership frameworks I use in my one-on-one coaching with first-time managers. You'll answer 10 honest questions about your newly-promoted manager and get a scorecard showing exactly where they're set up to succeed, and where they need support before things get harder.
