Lauren and Brooke break down exactly what team leaders should focus on in their first 90 days—whether launching a new team or resetting an existing one. They discuss why most leaders fail not because of bad strategy, but because of poor adoption, and how to build trust, clarity, and accountability without micromanaging. From setting clear standards to engineering early wins, this conversation reveals the leadership moves that separate teams that thrive from teams that struggle. If you're stepping into leadership or looking to tighten your team's execution, this episode is your roadmap.
