Description

Becoming CEO is one of the biggest—and most scrutinized—transitions in business. The moment you take the top job, employees are watching to see what kind of leader you’ll be. Meanwhile, society at large is watching CEOs more closely than ever amid growing skepticism of corporate power and leadership. In this candid conversation, three CEOs from very different industries share what they’re learning in the early days of leading at the top and how they’re navigating all the pressures that come with the job. This is a practical playbook for anyone leading a team, stepping into greater responsibility, or preparing for the C-suite.
