How to survive a new CEO.
A new CEO means everyone in the organization is now a new hire--an unknown entity that must prove he or she can and will enthusiastically, tirelessly support the CEO's agenda. Those who want to stay on the payroll must avoid a business-as-usual attitude and demonstrate that they share the CEO's dedication to change. If you're in a staff job, it's important to show you're essential to the new regime, quickly and convincingly. Some important steps to consider as you plan for the transition include: Do your home-work; anticipate the CEO's needs; be supportive and nonpolitical; be realistic with your direct reports; and appear poised to leave willingly and quietly--and you may not have to.
