How to impress the new CEO in your 1st meeting
Share to twitterNEW YORK, NY - APRIL 30: John Donahoe of eBay speaks with Norm Pearlstine onstage at the TechCrunchCEO musical chairs
They’ll be plenty of meetings as the leaders settle into their new positions. In many of those meetings, the new leaders will be getting to know the company’s senior executives, managers and employees. Although the CEO might not know much about an existing manager at the company, the managers have an advantage if they choose to use it—read everything the CEO has written.
I’m often reminded of Dimon’s observation when I speak at corporate conferences. I do my homework ahead of time, which always includes reading the CEO’s book if they have one. If not, I’ll find a book related to the company or the industry. If the CEO has written a book, I often quote from it. Lately, however, I’ve been stunned when I ask the audience for a show of hands—how many have read the book? I’m surprised because very few hands go up. I count two hands for every hundred people.
