Any network performance gurus here?

I recently got a new job as a network specialist responsible for managing performance across both LANs and WAN. I'm just wondering if few folks who have managed large networks give me some feedback as to what I should focus the most. I'm reading and reviewing my networking stuff, but certainly could use some insight.

It's a heterogenious and complex environment. Of course, they won't throw me in fire and the transition is gradual (at least I hope ), but I just want to get some ideas

Prepare like they're going to throw you immediately. I thought the same thing but after 2 weeks (all of which was operational orientation and required) I was supporting pretty much the entire network. A lot of on the job learning. I would have preferred a little more time to get aclimated but I think any slower and I wouldn't have been forced to learn as fast as I did.
