First 100 Days as a New ED -- Survival Kit

Templates, checklists, stakeholder map

NONPROFIT CAREERSFirst 100 Days asa New ED --Survival KitTOOLKITCharity Search Group

The first hundred days as a new ED, in one kit.

A hundred days is short. New EDs lose the first three weeks to logistics and the last three weeks to the first board meeting. This toolkit gives you the templates and checklists for what actually needs to get done in between — and the discipline to say no to what doesn't.

What’s inside

  • Week-by-week checklist for the first hundred days
  • A stakeholder map template — who to meet, in what order, with what questions
  • Board-meeting prep templates for the first three meetings
  • A short section on the two things every new ED tries to do too fast

You may not need this if: You've been an ED before and are moving to your second role.
