If you are in your 1st year as a CEO, fellow Transition Coach and Author Dr Ty Wiggins from Russell Reynolds Associates has a few tips in store for you. As always, I have done the reading and summarizing of the 23 page report 😉 on your behalf, so you can save you most precious ✨ asset, namely your time ⏲ :

 

🗒️ CEO Turnover Trends: There’s a notable increase in CEO turnover globally, with more first-time CEOs stepping up. Companies are increasingly looking for leaders with backgrounds in technology & digital transformation

 

👨 👩‍⚕️ Diversity & Inclusion: Diversity isn’t just a buzzword - it’s a business imperative. The rise in female CEOs & leaders from diverse ethnic backgrounds highlights the shift towards more inclusive leadership. Diverse teams drive innovation & better decision-making

 

🔥 Leadership Challenges: New CEOs face unique challenges, from managing digital transformation to navigating geopolitical uncertainties & addressing sustainability issues. So, adaptability & resilience are crucial

 

♛ Strategic Priorities: Innovation, customer experience, & operational efficiency are top priorities. Leveraging technology to drive growth & improve competitive advantage is essential

 

🍀 Sustainability & ESG: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are now central to the CEO agenda. Companies are held accountable for their sustainability practices by stakeholders, including investors & customers

 

⛓ CEO Succession Planning: Effective succession planning is critical for smooth leadership transitions. Developing a robust pipeline of future leaders is essential for long-term success

 

🌎 Global Perspectives: Regional differences in CEO appointments & leadership trends highlight the varying challenges and opportunities faced by CEOs worldwide.

 

💡 Why This Matters

📈 Enhanced Innovation: Diverse leadership teams are more likely to introduce innovative solutions

 

💹 Improved Reputation: Companies committed to sustainability and diversity are viewed more favorably

 

📊 Long-term Success: Sustainable practices ensure long-term viability & resilience

 

👉🏼 DM me if you have an incoming CEO & looking for targeted transition coaching. But don't take my word for it, take it from a recent CEO client of mine:

 

“The experience of being a coaching client of Navid is a powerful one. Not only did I gain fascinating insights about my own leadership style, but I was also able to become a more impactful executive, and gained valuable insights into how I can bring out the best in my leadership team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Navid to any executive who is looking to maximise their leadership impact.“
