You’ve just gotten the word. You are the new CEO—or maybe the word is that your offer to acquire another company has just been accepted. Whatever the source, you will now have a new bunch of executives reporting to you, and you know that your success will depend on them.
Right away, you have two tasks—you have to choose who your team will be, and you have to help them be successful with you. Complicating the situation, you have little time to spend on these tasks (after all, you are busier than you have ever been—and it isn’t going to let up). And the fact is, managing executives from the CEO position is just different.
From our work with CEOs in transition, and from interviews with dozens of others, perhaps we can provide some facts and advice to help you with these twin tasks in the limited time you have available.
