Start Strong: Lessons from New Executives
Expect constant day-to-day decision-making.
You’ll encounter a slew of unknowns; interviews never cover everything.
Embrace the work it takes. You’re not doing it wrong if it’s you’re not done by five.
Being a new CEO is like raising a child—the first year is tough. In the second year, you get into the flow.
If possible, take a vacation before you start.
