The chair you now sit in was once occupied by someone else.

You are the second or fifth or 45th to hold the job, but get ready: in this position, everything you do is critiqued and measured against your predecessors and there is no playbook. Also know that, like in the new book “Melania & Michelle” by Tammy R. Vigil, you have some pretty big pumps to fill.
