Everyday companies across America hire or promote talented executives who ultimately fail. Perhaps you've been one of those executives yourself.
Why does this happen so often?
My guest on this episode of Talking Business Now, Ron Carucci, has written a book on this very subject. Called "Rising to Power: The Journey of Exceptional Executives,"it’s based on a ground-breaking 10-year study on executive transition that reveals why so many executives fail—and fail so fast. Ron shares with us why that happens and how your organization can avoid those landmines.
Tune in to discover:
■ Why 50% of leaders fail within the first 18 months
■ The 4 characteristics that set successful leaders apart
■ How an organization can prepare a newly appointed executive for their new position
■ Tips for startup founders who have big ideas but who aren't seasoned leaders—how to lead their organization from startup to grown up
Carucci is the co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, where he works with CEOs and executives around the world to address strategy, organization and leadership challenges. In addition to being a regular contributor to HBR and Forbes, Carucci has been featured in Fortune, CEO Magazine, BusinessInsider, MSNBC, Inc, Business Week and Smart Business.
