C. Executing the plan.
Focus on the details, and don’t be afraid to hold the team accountable. Your team is looking at you for leadership.
You’ve got a long road ahead of you, and it’s important that you set the tone of the company right at the start. That means you’re going to have milestones and objectives that need to be met.
Now this doesn’t mean you are running a sweatshop. The idea isn’t to whip everyone to meet unrealistic goals.
You will fail if you take the course of pushing your people too hard. Successful CEOs understand that managing people is like driving a car. You need to know when put on the gas and when you need to apply the brakes.
