Fortune runs excerpt of Your'e In Charge - Now What?

In the January 24th issue, Fortune is running an excerpt from You're In Charge - Now What?: The 8 Point Plan by Thomas Neff and James Citrin.

The 8 Rules for the first 100 days include:

Listen
Resist the savior syndrome
Keep it simple
Hit pause
Look for quick wins
Spell it out
Don't dis your predecessor
Give feedback

It looks like a good book for someone taking on a new role. I think it is stuff everyone know, but it is goood to think about them in the context of being a new position.
