This whitepaper, written by Robert H. Miles, was originally published as an article for CEO Magazine.

No Transformation challenge is greater than the one confronting you as a new CEO when you assume the mantel of executive leadership. Yet most CEOs only get one chance in their long careers to get this right.

From the moment their appointment is announced, new CEOs must quickly and simultaneously develop their plans for "taking charge" and for launching the next major phase in their company. The Corporate Transformation game plan they need to develop with their colleagues not only requires a re-examination of the company's business realities, corporate strategies, and guiding purpose; but quite often a re-shaping of its management process and culture, a fundamental re-alignment of the organization, and a re-engagement of its managers and employees.

This whitepaper discusses the 6 Transformation Inhibitors, as well as includes a tool you can use to quickly assess the readiness of your organization to launch and execute a Corporate Transformation.
