The New CEO Workbook
A Practical Guide for CEOs to Start Well and Perform Quickly
Created by Ty Wiggins
One of the most common analogies CEOs use when describing the role is that it feels like you exist in a bubble—that you're surrounded by an invisible film that isolates you from what's really going on and what people really think and feel. Your jokes will be funnier, your stories will be more interesting, but you will also be further from the truth and challenged less.
When you burst the CEO bubble, you can:
- Break through isolation to access what's truly happening on the ground
- Create effective pathways for honest dialogue and authentic feedback
- Identify personal blind spots that affect your decision-making
- Overcome the tendency for people to agree with you just because you're CEO
How The New CEO Workbook can help you
As leadership advisors, we've seen countless CEOs struggle with isolation and filtered information flows. In Chapter 4: Burst the CEO bubble, we provide frameworks to help you create environments where people feel comfortable telling you what they're really thinking and remove biases that prevent you from seeing true realities.
The exercises, reflections, and guidance in this workbook help you adjust your thinking and behaviors to combat the CEO bubble phenomenon—both when it first forms and when it attempts to reform throughout your tenure.
Key questions to address when deciding how to act:
- What personal behaviors might inadvertently discourage honest feedback?
- How can you tell when you're getting the polished 'CEO version' of information?
- Which locations and areas of the organization will you visit on listening tours?
- How will you balance breadth versus depth of conversations?
- What evidence contradicts your strongly held beliefs?
What you'll find in this workbook
Chapter 4: Burst the CEO bubble, is just the beginning. The New CEO Workbook covers all aspects of a successful CEO transition, from how you can assess, develop and leverage your senior leadership team, to how you can positively shape the culture. Explore each chapter to work through all dimensions of your CEO transition journey.
