  3. Avoiding CEO Pitfalls: New CEOs often falter due to insufficient support or a failure to build the right relationships. Seeking guidance and using an external mentor can help navigate the challenging transition.

  4. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Many high-achieving leaders experience self-doubt. Recognizing that it is common and focusing on teamwork, rather than feeling the need to have all the answers, can help overcome these feelings.
