Wiggins is one of only a handful of people globally with a PhD in senior leadership transitions. He harnesses his deep academic, consulting, and coaching background to provide CEOs, boards, and senior leaders across industries with the advice, support, challenge, and insight needed to start well and perform quickly.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">The position is not your identity</em>. Check your ego and stay accountable to your SLT.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">It’s the role, not you</em>.

Admit what you don’t know and prepare to be wrong.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">Being CEO is a privilege, not a right</em>. Expressing gratitude strengthens your leadership.":1,"#The transition to CEO is the largest career jump that you can make, so it also presents the most challenges for first-time jumpers. However, countless CEOs before you made mistakes that you can learn from. Keep the following lessons in mind when navigating your personal journey to the CEO role:":1,"#If I Could Do It All Over Again":1,"#Part IV: A Series of Sprints":1,"#Shifting culture is a common priority for new CEOs, but it takes time, consistent effort, and organizational alignment to change the values of thousands of employees. To effectively change your culture, you must inspire confidence, certainty, and belief in the new vision, as people are naturally resistant to change.":1,"#Through stated and assumed values, CEOs define the culture of their company. Many organizations use surveys to assess the strength of their culture, but these surveys don’t paint a complete picture because of broad questions, a bias toward positivity, and skepticism about the anonymity of answers. New CEOs should pay attention to the stories being told and the behaviors being modeled to assess their company culture.":1,"#Shaping the Culture":1,"#Approximately 63 percent of CEOs report having a significant conflict with their board in their first year, so establish guidelines early with your board members to determine a conflict resolution process. Additionally, be sure to understand common concerns of investors and prepare to answer them if they come up in board meetings.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">Becoming too familiar</em>. Board members are directors and should be treated with cautious deference.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">Not realizing that you’re one of the board’s key risks</em>. An understanding of risk management improves your understanding of your board.":1,"#<em ljsid-0=\"\">Trying to manage the board</em>. A CEO serves their board.":1,"#Transparency is a valuable attribute to leverage when speaking with board members, as honest information sharing is foundational to building trust. However, many CEOs struggle to build trust with their board by making these common mistakes:":1,"#Learning how to navigate relationships with board members is often the most difficult part of transitioning into the CEO role. Just as you should get to know your SLT as individuals before working as a team, make an effort to build relationships with individual board members so you can understand their motivations, priorities, and goals.":1,"#Working with the Board":1,"#Many CEOs have <em ljsid-1=\"\">functional bias</em>, or an inaccurate prioritization of their own business area. Learning as much as you can about the unfamiliar functions within your SLT is key to making informed decisions. Notably, it’s the ultimate responsibility of the CEO to make final decisions, even if multiple rounds of debates and discussions led to a consensus. During these discussions, listen as much as possible and speak last to allow everyone a chance to share their perspective. Not everyone has to agree on a decision, but they must be willing to commit to what you decide.":1,"#As CEO, you don’t directly control every team in your organization, but you do determine the tone, priorities, and direction of your SLT. Your SLT should have a <em ljsid-1=\"\">first-team mentality</em>: All members should prioritize the SLT above all other teams. With a variety of perspectives, business functions, and strong personalities in your SLT, it’s essential for team members to have one another’s backs and work as a unit.":1,"#Leading Your Top Team":1,"#Instead of fitting roles around existing people, assess the skills of your team and fit them with appropriate roles. By realigning positions instead of replacing them, you retain corporate knowledge, give leaders new opportunities, and establish a clear direction early in your tenure.":1,"#Trust, motivation, and vision should all be major considerations when selecting members for your SLT. When determining whether to replace an existing leader, think about whether you’d rehire them today if they just applied. Similarly, if the board or other senior leaders dislike an executive, take their opinion into consideration and be careful about throwing them a lifeline.":1,"#The strength of your senior leadership team (SLT) is what determines your ability to deliver on promises, implement your transition plan, and stimulate growth. While sometimes it’s best to slow down as a new CEO, moving fast to establish your SLT accelerates your transition plan. Without an aligned SLT, the organization can’t move forward on your early priorities.":1,"#Building Your Top Team":1,"#Part III: Early Priorities":1,"#You can’t be involved in every decision made in your company, so don’t try to do someone else’s job when you have more critical communication, strategy, and vision responsibilities. The more you trust yourself to do your job and make the best decisions possible, the better your decisions will become.":1,"#Remembering that your role is one of service leadership can reground you to what’s important in your organization. Instead of thinking about what type of leader you want to be, consider what type of leader your organization needs you to be. In addition, be sure that you’re prioritizing familial, personal, and health responsibilities, since you need to be clear-headed and alert when navigating a crisis.":1,"#Every leader eventually faces a crash where they doubt their abilities and question their direction. This is a sign of humility, which is an important quality for a CEO, but it can be difficult to see a path forward when surrounded by mountain-sized problems. Reflection is the first essential step for crash recovery. Journaling, asking for feedback, and meeting with your executive coach help expand your perspective and reset expectations.":1,"#Navigating the Crash":1,"#Many new CEOs focus too heavily on actions, when it’s their communication that truly determines perception of their competency. A communication framework can help you stay consistent with your messaging and shape the narrative around your early wins. For CEOs, there’s no such thing as off-the-record comments, especially in terms of public policy issues. Resist the urge to comment on contentious issues and instead focus on how crises affect your business, employees, and customers.":1,"#Communication as a CEO is more than what you say, as every action you take is dissected for meaning in the early stages of your tenure. In previous roles, you likely didn’t have to worry about who you were seen getting coffee with and what jokes you made with your coworkers. However, minor communication missteps can completely derail CEO transitions. Taking a politician-like approach to early messaging is necessary to keep your tone, priorities, and identity consistent.":1,"#Get the Messaging Right":1,"#A hidden advantage of being a new leader is that you didn’t cause the problems made by previous management—though you’re now responsible for them. You can sell underperforming business areas, let go of problematic managers, and depart from costly contracts without the same level of resistance that the former CEO faced.":1,"#You can prove yourself in the first 100 days without making sweeping changes by finding early, easy wins. Fixing issues in the physical office, reducing unnecessary reporting, and improving IT capability are simple improvements that earn appreciation across the organization.":1,"#New CEOs are often told to either take immediate action or patiently learn about their organization, but there’s no universally correct guidance on how fast to implement your transition plan. CEOs are judged heavily on their impact after 100 days, so you’ll likely feel pressure to prove yourself. However, if you don’t fully understand a problem, take time to gain more context before making a potentially damaging judgment call.":1,"#Act Discerningly":1,"#The transition to CEO is rife with <em ljsid-1=\"\">confirmation bias</em>, which is the tendency to seek out information that aligns with your worldview. People across your organization feed into this bias by telling you what you want to hear to gain your favor, so be sure to reflect on your assumptions and stay grounded in your transition plan.":1,"#Bursting the CEO bubble requires a prioritization of curiosity over correctness. You need to be comfortable when others prove you wrong, proactive in learning employee perspectives, and open to feedback from all stakeholders to align yourself with the experiences of frontline workers.":1,"#The <em ljsid-1=\"\">CEO bubble</em> is the layer of separation between reality and the information you learn. Within the CEO bubble, your ideas aren’t challenged, information is hidden, and trust is given sparingly. You might feel like you’re seeing more of the organization than before, but you’re not hearing the conversations that happen at lower layers of the hierarchy.":1,"#Burst the CEO Bubble":1,"#Part II: Making the Right Start":1,"#From a business perspective, identify whether the organization needs a turnaround or continuation to determine the magnitude of immediate change. If you’re an outsider to the industry, it’s critical to acclimate to the climate as soon as possible so you can make well-informed changes early into your tenure.":1,"#It’s essential to build flexibility into your transition plan, as internal secrets and external crises are likely disruptors to your idealized version of the organizations. Reducing the number of surprises on day one requires close communication with the outgoing CEO, who likely has the most information on the current state of the organization.":1,"#The more time you spend on a transition plan before becoming a CEO, the more confidence you’ll have when facing the avalanche of responsibilities. Planning begins with an analysis on all publicly available information on the company, which should be completed before you sign an offer. You can then develop a leadership script that outlines your goals for your first three months so that your company knows your immediate priorities.":1,"#Prepare to Win":1,"#As CEO, you’re not only responsible for the health of the company, but also for the livelihoods of every member of your organization. Expectations from employees on one end and investors at the other create a pinch that leaves the CEO in a perpetual state of scrutiny. These different stakeholders compete for your attention and can siphon time away from family and personal responsibilities. While it can feel impossible to cover your bases as a new CEO, accepting your vulnerability, finding external advisors, and getting comfortable with uncertainty all help ease the transition.":1,"#As CEO, you’re not only responsible...":1,"#For a position that’s frequently studied and written about, CEOs often struggle when transitioning into the role. Immediately, new CEOs are outside of their comfort zones with new responsibilities to the media, board, and shareholders. These new responsibilities come with a spotlight on every one of their actions, which makes many CEOs feel isolated. A 2012 study found that 50 percent of CEOs report that they feel lonely in their role due to the inability to freely share information and participate as a team member.":1,"#Why CEO Transitions Are So Hard":1,"#Part I: So, You’re a CEO":1,"#Model the behavior that you want to encourage in your company culture.":1,"#Carefully navigate your relationships with board members and build trust through transparency and respect.":1,"#Act with discernment, particularly during your first 100 days, to avoid making potentially damaging decisions.":1,"#Surround yourself with top talent who are willing to hold you accountable.":1,"#Keep your organization aligned with a purposeful, consistent communication framework.":1,"#Before or when becoming a CEO, create a flexible, goal-oriented transition plan to stay focused and organized.":1,"#Achieving a CEO position is a major career accomplishment, but it presents a wide range of challenges for those who transition into the role for the first time.

While there are no shortcuts or magic bullets to achieving success, author Grant Cardone believes he can point to a discipline and mind-set that transforms average people into high achievers. In The 10X Rule, Cardone explains that those who attain great success have bold goals and high levels of activity. They set targets that are 10 times higher than they think necessary and put forth 10 times the effort that others do. This a principle can be used to become a high achiever in any aspect of life—spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, relational, career, or financial—and outlines how both individuals and organizations should manage the formation and realization of all their goals.

One of the most critical questions is how to balance the pros and cons of remote work. Organizations want to support flexibility but also enable workers to develop strong social connections.

The impact of automation on the workplace is within society’s control—it can be positive or negative, depending on how technology is deployed.":1,"#As leaders consider the impact of technology on job quality, they must focus on jobs that are most likely to be affected and how the nature of work will change.

Successful organizations will be led by leaders and staffed by workers who achieve a balance between organizational objectives, individual satisfaction, and fulfillment.":1,"#In today's hyper-competitive business environment, short-term performance pressures are eroding employees' intrinsic rewards and demotivating and disengaging them at an alarming rate.

While pay and other compensation is important to employees, they require more from their employers than just tangible benefits if they are to stay motivated and engaged. Included among the factors that motivate and engage employees to higher performance levels are:":1,"#MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT":1,"#Leadership theories, which have evolved over time, range from the belief that leadership is innate and can be discerned through specific personal traits, to the thesis that leadership can be learned, to the notion that leadership is contingent and situational. The current leadership evolutionary stage calls for a more hands-on leadership style that motivates others in a caring and humanitarian way, thereby deepening employees' commitments to their organizations.":1,"#Organizations need strong leadership to thrive; however, not all leadership approaches are the same.

In essence, they take a free ride on others' work. Warning signs of social loafing include disengaging from others or the tasks to be accomplished, defensive behavior, missing deadlines, displaying a general lack of interest, aloofness, and passive aggressive behavior. Some social loafing is thought to be based in personality differences or emotions rather than a direct consequence of the team structure or environment. Social loafing can also evolve from discomfort with performing specific tasks.

Maintaining this balance can be a challenge, and even the most effective team can fall prey to the common barriers of groupthink and social loafing.":1,"#BARRIERS AND INTRICACIES":1,"#Additionally, diversity in skill sets and individual personalities enhances team effectiveness.

Additionally, self-awareness and presence are emerging as universal strengths many employers are looking for in their new recruits.":1,"#While a college education might have once been the most effective path to guaranteed employment in one's field of choice, times have indeed changed. In today's workplace, prospective candidates are increasingly challenged to discern what employers are looking for in potential employees and adequately prepare to meet those requirements.

Their research suggests that AI cannot replace the benefits of human connection and may erode collaboration, trust, and social skills over time.
