トップビジネス CEOs 新CEOの4割が就任1年半以内につまずく、アップルとグーグルに学ぶ事業継承のコツ組織を率いるポジションに就いた人の4割は、就任から1年半以内につまずいている。適任でなかったり、結果が伴わなかったり、あるいは来るべき変化への適応能力が低かったりするためだ。その職にうまくフィットするかどうかのリスクは、創業者から最高経営責任者（CEO）職を引き継ぐ場合で特に顕著だ。創業者のレガシー（遺産）を軽視したり主要な関係者を疎外したりする人、関係構築を怠ったりあまりに性急に動いたりする人は必ず失敗する。フォーカスすることと信頼の構築に重点を置いたエグゼクティブ・オンボーディングの7つの段階を経ると成功への道が開かれる。戦略的に進化する体制を整えられるよう、組織の使命とカルチャーにフォーカスするといい。そして持続する信頼を得られるよう、誠実さと敬意を何より大事にしたい。組織の使命とカルチャーにフォーカスする...
