Becoming a CEO is a significant milestone, regardless of whether it's your first, second, or third time in the position. The words you use and the actions you take during your early days as CEO will shape how you're perceived for years to come. However, until now, few CEOs have openly shared their experiences, insights, and lessons learned from their journey to the top.

In his book, "The New CEO," Dr. Ty Wiggins, an experienced leadership advisor specializing in CEO transitions, provides invaluable guidance on how to excel as a new CEO, accelerate your impact, and achieve the most fulfilling experience of your career. Drawing on compelling storytelling and extensive research conducted with hundreds of CEOs across the globe, the book offers a comprehensive guide on what to say and do as a new CEO, including how to define your priorities, build your team, implement critical changes swiftly, work effectively with the board, and establish (or reset) the organization's culture.

Furthermore, "The New CEO" delves into the challenges and complexities of being a CEO, highlighting why it is often considered the toughest and loneliest job in business. It offers practical strategies to overcome the "First 100 Days" mindset and pressure for immediate wins, emphasizing the importance of delivering sustainable, long-term success. The book also provides insights on how to avoid getting trapped in the "CEO Bubble," navigating inevitable challenges, setbacks, and missteps along the way.

Whether you're embarking on your first CEO role or have previous experience in the position, "The New CEO" is an essential resource for anyone seeking insights into the mindset and priorities of CEOs. It is particularly valuable for board members, directors, in-house counsel, leadership coaches, other executives, and consultants who want to better understand the dynamics and responsibilities of the CEO role.

By following the advice and insights provided in this book, new CEOs can set themselves up for success, build strong teams, and drive positive change within their organizations. With "The New CEO" as your guide, you can navigate the challenges and opportunities of the CEO journey with confidence, resilience, and a commitment to long-term growth and success.
