You have just received the good news. You are taking a CEO position. You are excited, energized and eager to start. At the same time, you may be feeling some apprehension. You may be asking yourself: Am I up to the job? Can I deliver? Will I be a success or a failure?
We have seen this mix of emotions many times before. They are perfectly understandable. The step up to the CEO position is challenging. We often advise new CEOs and have identified four critical actions to improve your chances of success:
1. Recognize that leading a company is not like running a business unit
2. Prepare thoroughly before your first day so you hit the ground running
3. Focus on the strategic agenda
4. Build and work with your team — don’t try to do everything on your own
