Michael D. Watkins describes The First 90 Days as a make or break period for new managers. During this time, opinions are created that will likely carry throughout the rest of your time in that organization. In this episode of The Fleet Code, we sat down with two of Fleetio's own, who both come from fleet management roles. Jon Hinkle and Mike Eldredge share some of their learned lessons from their times in fleet, as well as advice for new fleet managers who are searching for ways to make a positive impact.
