How to become a badass manager and CEO
A practical guide on how to successfully transition to a manager position and later on to a CEO position
Description
What is the aim of this course?
It’s not easy to transition first from an efficient specialist to a manager and later on to an outstanding CEO. What made you a great specialist quite often is a problem at a manager level. You have to totally switch the way you work and on what you concentrate. The same goes for your transition from manager to CEO. Being a CEO is not just managing a bigger team or a more senior team. If you want to be successful you have to fully redefine your role, unlearn some things, and learn new skills.
Most people have problems with those sorts of transitions. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. This old saying is unfortunately very true when you move to managerial positions. You tend to continue doing things that made you successful but what I got you here won’t get you there.
This course will help you redefine your role and transition from a specialist to a manager and later on to a CEO. I will provide you with clear guidelines on what and how to do in order to be an efficient and effective manager as well as CEO. In this course, you will learn 5 things
How to be an efficient and effective manager
How to be an efficient and effective CEO
How to understand the business from the position of a CEO
How to improve the business as a CEO
How to make your business strategically sustainable
This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 90 different performance improvement projects in different industries that generated a total of 2 billion in additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 224 000 students including people working in EY, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.
I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.
Why have I decided to create this course?
Transitioning from a specialist to a managerial position is extremely difficult. Still, most of your supervisors will not really provide you with much support and guidance. That you may need. That’s why I have decided on all the practical tips and rules of thumb that I have learned over the last 14 years in this course. The course will provide you not only with interesting applicable tips but also a roadmap on how to proceed once you become a manager or a CEO. The more difficult part is obviously the transition to the CEO position regardless of the size of the firm/business. That’s why I will devote to this part more time and attention. Thanks to this course, you will know what and how to do when you are promoted to a manager or CEO position.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to be a successful manager and CEO you should master techniques, rules, and tips that I will show in this course. That is why. I highly recommend this course not only to young managers, entrepreneurs, and future CEOs.
In what way will you benefit from this course?
The course is a practical, step-by-step guide loaded with tons of tips, tricks, and hints that will significantly improve the speed with which you will develop as a manager and CEO. There is little theory – mainly examples, a lot of tips from my own experience as well as other notable examples worth mentioning. Our intention is that thanks to the course you will learn:
How to be an efficient and effective manager

How to improve the business as a CEO. In this section, I will discuss how you can look for ways to improve your business in a structured and organized manner. Your role as a CEO is to pick things that the business will do and things that the business will not do.
