Failure from the front: Blundering through the C-Suite
Future CEOs
There's nothing quite like being The Boss. The first thing you learn: Your Title may confer a lot of responsibility but if you want to build great teams, you need a lot more than that -- great communication skills, a rock-solid business plan, strong co-leads, the list goes on. But first, check your ego at the door because all those bullet-proof business deals you had in the bag -- weren't COVID-proof, or Resignation-proof, or even social media proof. Being in the C-Suite means you have a lot on the line, even more to learn, and more than a few people looking to undermine your strategy.
