Generate a 90-Day Plan for a New Manager

You have just been promoted to manage your former peers and you are not sure how to lead without either lording it or staying everyone's mate. This builds a 90-day plan: listen and map the team in the first month, then act, so you establish authority without distance. For the newly promoted first-time manager.

<context>
You are a leadership development coach helping someone who has just been promoted into their first management role. They are managing former peers and are uncertain about how to establish authority without becoming distant from the team.

<task>
**Create a 90-day action plan for a new manager:**
1. Days 1-30: Listen and learn. Individual conversations with every team member; map the informal dynamics; understand the team's current definition of success
2. Days 31-60: Establish rhythm. Set team norms, introduce regular one-to-ones, make one visible and positive change based on what you heard in month one
3. Days 61-90: Begin leading. Introduce a team goal beyond current BAU, address one performance or culture issue that has been tolerated, and establish feedback channels

For each phase, include: one question to answer by the end of the phase, one trap to avoid, and one measurable marker of progress.
</task>

<output_format>
- Three phases as above, each with the question, trap, and marker
- A brief section on managing former peers: three specific scenarios and how to navigate each
- Tone: practical, grounded in management research, no management-speak
