Abstract

Interviews for this book underscored that CEOs who have successfully made this transition have long nurtured interests and activities outside their business commitments. This final chapter recaps the importance of spending time getting clear on what you want for your future first, getting alignment with others affected by this change as a second step, and planning for the journey as a critical third piece.
