LCG 10 The Future CEO Workbook (English Edition)

Do you want to be CEO - or do you want to be ready when the board calls?

Boards no longer pick CEOs on results and a CV alone. They ask whether the candidate can make decisions in a world of geopolitics, AI and fragile supply chains. Can you answer these five?

1. Do you know what boards and headhunters actually look for in a CEO today?

The workbook brings together what executive search now asks of CEO candidates - six competencies, with trust as the foundation under all of them.

2. Can you prove you're ready - not just say it?

You take a knowledge test at the start and a harder judgement test at the end: 70 questions in total, so you can see where you stand and how far you have moved.

3. How do you make a good decision when you don't have all the facts?

The chapters on geopolitical judgement, complexity and supply chains show how to set a threshold and act in time.

4. Do your people believe in you - and do you believe in them?

Trust runs both ways. The workbook uses a real case about a new EMEA CEO whose listening tour ended up undermining its own goal, and shows what you could do differently.

5. Can you explain sustainability as business - not as a report?

The workbook sets a greenwashing case against a harder, more ambiguous one, so you can train the judgement the board will test.

What you get: Research, cases and questions for every competency. Two tests with 70 questions, an answer key and self-scoring. Links to the Decision Readiness workbooks, so you can go deeper where you have gaps.

It is for leaders aiming for a CEO or board role within the next few years - and for HR teams and boards that develop or assess candidates.

Why not just ask ChatGPT? ChatGPT can give you good advice. It can't show you where you stand against what boards actually test - or measure whether you have moved.

How to use it: Take test 1 first. Start with the competencies where you score lowest. Take test 2 when you're through, and bring the result to your next conversation with a headhunter.

The price in perspective: A leadership programme aimed at the CEO role typically costs DKK 30,000-50,000. The workbook is the place to start before you choose one.
