GoKawiilAdvisory piece urges new CEOs to widen stakeholder outreach in first 60 days
An Entrepreneur opinion column argues that new CEOs should use their first 60 days to build relationships beyond the obvious stakeholders like the board and investors. It cites Equilar data showing 12-13% of CEOs are new each year, with about 28% hired externally, and recommends also speaking with predecessors, partners, recently departed clients and frontline staff. The piece offers tactics such as building a KPI-based scorecard, watching for cross-functional friction, and delaying restructuring.
