Franklin Roosevelt

You are a first time CEO. You have never been one before. You are not yet sure of the challenges ahead or how to meet them. You have 100 days to initiate a successful turn-around. You will have only one chance.

Franklin Roosevelt took charge quickly during a critical career transition. He had never been President of anything before. He took over a failing country at a time of acute privation and pessimism. Roosevelt as CEO instantly countered the negative with a bold, reassuring inaugural address that shifted the mood from gloom toward hope. From an ambiguous figure seeming to possess little intellect and more charm than backbone, Roosevelt emerged as a confident and commanding President. Learning from him we will outline proven strategies that will dramatically shorten the time it takes to reach the breakeven point, the point when your organizations needs you as much as you need it.. Using FDR will provide examples and tools that will show how to:

  1. Use your first 100 days as CEO as FDR did and establish a successful direction for your organization.
  2. Assess your strength and weaknesses and identify personal vulnerabilities.
  3. Diagnosis your situation and understand its challenges and opportunities.
  4. Secure early wins that establish creditability and create momentum.
