Focus Area / CEO Skills

Running the whole thing

This focus area is unusual for two reasons. One, the CEO is a role but I use it to refer to the person at the top of the organization regardless of their title. Two, many of these skills and tools are also useful for people in other roles. Here we cover topics such as

  • CEO Mindset There are ways to think about your role and the company that aren’t always obvious.
  • Company View You can see things from where you sit that others can’t.
  • Productivity How to use CEO Time as well as other productivity hacks.
  • Delegation All managers need this skill – it’s not hard but not intuitive.
  • Setting KPIs Setting the right KPIs keeps people productive and helps avoid Goodhart’s law
