The New CEO

In The New CEO, leadership advisor Ty Wiggins delivers an insightful take on what it takes for newly appointed CEOs to succeed in their first days, weeks, and months in office. Whether this is your first time as CEO, or your second or third, you'll benefit from this indispensable guide on how to land well, perform quickly, and realize your full potential as CEO. Through candid storytelling and groundbreaking original research, you'll discover how CEOs from world-leading companies, including PepsiCo, Campbell's, UPS, Verizon, and more, approached their first year: What they did first, what they wish they'd done differently, and their advice for the next generation of CEOs. Read about their successes, their missteps, and the important lessons they learned along the way. The New CEO explains why the top job is so complex and how to face the unchangeable facts that you're now busier, more isolated, and more scrutinized than ever before. You'll learn how to handle the weight of responsibility, strike the right balance between patience and action, score early wins, and nail your early messaging. You'll also learn how to navigate essential milestones, like building your team, working with the board and investors, and ensuring the organizational culture doesn't derail your transition. Perfect for first-time CEOs and veteran CEOs, The New CEO will also earn a place in the libraries of anyone who regularly works with a CEO, including board members and directors, other executives, in-house counsel, consultants, leadership advisors, and coaches. The book also benefits founders and entrepreneurs, first-time and returning C-suite executives, and aspiring CEOs who want to understand what life at the top is really like. A must-read peek into the minds and priorities of the leaders who hold the most coveted role in business.
