What does it take to be successful in the CEO role? https://lnkd.in/eygt57xH We talked to dozens of current and former CEOs from the World 50 community to understand the realities of what a new CEO, an aspiring CEO, or a workforce serving under a new CEO should expect during the early days of leadership. The result: "Excel in Your First Year as CEO," a collection of key insights from those who have navigated the role. While every CEO's experience will be unique, a few themes emerged that can help lay the foundation for success: 🔹 A public company CEO’s first year is more indicative of long-term success (rather than their first 100 days). 🔹 It doesn’t have to be lonely at the top. 🔹 Win-win solutions are more common than many assume. 🔹 Engaging a board demands more time than many new CEOs expect.
