Episodes about this book
1 episodeWhat New CEOs Get Wrong About the Job
HBR IdeaCast interviews Nithin Noria, professor and former dean of Harvard Business School, about his new book on the CEO role. The conversation covers the gap between expectation and reality: the counterintuitive discovery that CEOs cannot directly run the company, the challenge of managing a complex multi-member board as collective boss, the importance of staying connected to frontline employees and customers, and the personal and family sacrifices the role demands.
