In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- What Christopher did when he arrived as CEO, to find the sale of the business had fallen through due to serious fraud
- How this event led to real clarity for the business, and the "building a story" exercise that every CEO should go through
- The communication challenges Christopher experienced, and the advice he gives new CEOs, especially around the "magic 80" of second-level reports.
