The New CEO Workbook
A Practical Guide for CEOs to Start Well and Perform Quickly
Created by Ty Wiggins
Having a clear transition plan before beginning as CEO will significantly impact your success. Your first days, weeks, and months will likely be a frenetic blur—a solid plan gives you structure, direction, and clear deliverables while building confidence in yourself and throughout the organization.
When done right, a thoughtful transition plan can help you:
- Present a clear roadmap to your board and leadership team
- Flush out real priorities of the chair and board early
- Answer questions confidently about where you've spent your time
- Navigate surprises without losing sight of core objectives
- Anticipate challenges before they become pressing issues
How The New CEO Workbook can help you
As leadership advisors, we know how difficult it can be to transition into the CEO role. In Chapter 1 Prepare to win: How to create a clear transition plan, we’ve structured the chapter by looking through the lens of legacy building and what you want to be remembered for as CEO, and then working backward to help shape your immediate priorities.
The exercises, reflections, and guidance in this workbook are intended to guide your decision making as you begin your CEO transition, and represent distilled wisdom from hundreds of successful CEOs who have navigated this exact path before you.
Key questions to address when creating your CEO transition plan:
- How will you structure your first 30-60 days to maximize learning?
- What do you want to be remembered by as a CEO?
- What's your long-term vision, and how should it shape your immediate priorities?
- What mechanisms will help you identify when your plan needs adjusting?
- How will you balance certainty with flexibility when facing unexpected challenges?
What you'll find in this workbook
Chapter 1 Prepare to win: How to create a clear transition plan, is just the beginning. The New CEO Workbook covers all aspects of a successful CEO transition, from how to communicate as a new CEO, to how you can build and lead a top team. Explore each chapter to work through all dimensions of your CEO transition journey.
