The New CEO Workbook
A Practical Guide for CEOs to Start Well and Perform Quickly
Created by Ty Wiggins
No team is more important than your Senior Leadership Team (SLT). It is impossible for you to be successful without the right people around you. How your top team operates—whether they pull together to support your vision, or pull apart—comes largely down to your actions. The expectations that you set, the tone that you establish.
How your SLT operates will be a reflection of you and a key assessment point for the board and external parties on the quality of your leadership.
When done right, strategic team leadership can help you:
- Transform functional leaders into enterprise-first executives
- Harness diverse thinking styles across your leadership team
- Establish decision protocols that clarify when you consult versus decide
- Create productive debate without sacrificing team cohesion
- Moderate your CEO influence to enable genuine discussion
How The New CEO Workbook can help you
As leadership advisors, we've seen that changing executive mindsets from functional loyalty to enterprise-first thinking is often the most significant shift new CEOs must drive. In Chapter 7: Leading Your Top Team, we provide frameworks to help you transform your SLT from a collection of functional heads into a cohesive leadership force.
The exercises, reflections, and guidance in this workbook help you develop approaches for fostering first-team loyalty and create decision-making processes that leverage collective wisdom while maintaining your authority.
Key questions to address when leading your team:
- What evidence suggests your SLT may be operating with a functional mindset?
- How will you structure decision-making to benefit from diverse perspectives?
- What safeguards will prevent overemphasis on your area of expertise?
- Which types of decisions will you make personally versus delegate completely?
- How will you handle strong disagreement while maintaining team cohesion?
What you'll find in this workbook
Chapter 7: Leading your top team is just one part of your successful transition. The New CEO Workbook covers all aspects of a CEO transition, including how to manage your communications to working with the board. Explore each chapter to work through all dimensions of your journey.
