I’ve been selected as our CEO’s successor, slated to take the reigns in the next 12-18 months. Aside from achieving the milestones they’ve laid out for me, what advice do you have for me?

Don't worry too much about replicating the successes of your previous CEO. Do your own thing, your own way. Everyone will adjust eventually. You were chosen for a reason. Congratulations!

It’s a pretty progressive company, many women in leadership. However, I am taking the reins from a male predecessor. I’ve been with the company for 12 years, started in a mid-level role. As the company grew, I tried to keep my head above the water line so my boat floated up with it.

Great tip, I’ve got one. I don’t know what I’d do without them!

Congratulations!!

Start building relationships with the CEOs key contacts that you don’t know. Document details so you know who to go to to get things done.

Great idea, thank you!

Hi. I am desperate to change jobs. I have two offer in hands: Deloitte Hyderbad on a contract basis with 15% hike and KPMG Bangalore FTE with 25% hike. I like Deloitte as a brand better.
None of of these two companies are willing to offer more saying that they have a tight budget.

Which one should I take? Please help me decide.
