Stepping into a new C-Suite or senior executive role comes with a unique and disparate set of challenges.

Regardless of whether they’re promoted from within their company or hired from outside, new senior executives face a steep learning curve and a complex organisational landscape — with all of the associated challenges.

For internal promotions, building relationships, trust, and rapport can be particularly delicate as they may need to transition from peer to leader, possibly facing resentment and even obstructive behaviour. External hires, on the other hand, need to establish credibility and gain the respect of a team they likely don’t know well.

Every organisation has its own unique culture, with its own set of unwritten rules and power dynamics. New senior executives must adapt to this culture, while identifying areas for improvement; they must quickly establish their leadership style, build their team, and set the tone for the organisation.

New senior executives are required to quickly develop a deep understanding of the business, its financial performance, strategic direction, and key stakeholders. They often need to balance priorities and agendas, finding themselves caught between competing interests.
