Ever wondered what it actually takes to succeed as a new CEO?
Very few leaders have a clear window into what life is like as a CEO. What are the biggest surprises they face in their first few weeks and months? What challenges will they encounter?
In this edition of NEXT, we share our latest book, The New CEO, which reveals how to make a strong start as a new leader. Through its stories and advice, you’ll not only gain a sneak peek into the top job but also find lessons to support your own executive career, including how to communicate your vision, overcome setbacks, and advance change.
We also highlight the four actions CEOs can take to build and improve trust in their top team. And, to mark Earth Day last week, we’re highlighting how to speak out on social issues and the important interplay between sustainability and AI.

7 个月The ability to manage, motivate, inspire and influence people is everything. An absence of the ability to connect with people on these levels makes everything else irrelevant. Moreover, an insatiable appetite to learn and level up one's performance is critical. I just pre-ordered my copy of The New CEO!

7 个月Exhibition of personal touch with a sense of high professional and business oriented approach works well in the first 2 yrs .This is my observation as a sr management person not on the CEO role. Missing links potholes all need s to be filled to evenout . My observation there are two extremes which works well either too soft too friendly sense of human touch backed with professionalism works well otherwise brash brusque approach creates a tight working culture with a high sensitive motion on the job all the time but succeeds if scheduled and planned and organised with implementation approach . Intermediate things never works in a CEO role from my observation. Dr K L Sundarkrishnaa
