The New CEO
Lessons from CEOs on How to Start Well and Perform Quickly (Minus the Common Mistakes)
Recommendation
Even decades of leadership experience don’t guarantee a smooth transition to the role of CEO, a job more complex and consequential than any outsider can imagine. Leadership consultant Ty Wiggins warns that first-time CEOs are taking on a complex role that makes them responsible for the welfare of the company, its customers, and its employees and their careers. Drawing on interviews with successful executives, Wiggins offers a handbook of strategies for dealing with immediate challenges in your first few months on the job – including instilling your principles into the company’s ethos, working with the board, and building a leadership team.
