Leah's POV

Dear Leah, I’m the Chief Strategy Officer in a really awkward situation. Our CEO announced his retirement six months ago, and the Chair immediately started positioning our incoming CEO (current COO) as the “real decision-maker” whilst the outgoing CEO serves out his notice.

Dear Leah, I’m Chief Transformation Officer, and I’ve discovered that two of our non-executive directors have been having private conversations with key shareholders about our CEO’s performance.

Dear Leah, I'm Chief People Officer overseeing the integration of a company we bought eight months ago. The deal was sold as a "merger of equals" but everyone knows we're the buyer.

Dear Leah, I’m Chief Operating Officer at a family business that’s been hugely successful, but we’re now facing our biggest internal crisis.

Dear Leah,  I’m Chief of Staff to our new CEO who joined six months ago following a difficult transition.
