Capability 3: Continuous Improvement

The best CEOs are consistently curious.

Capability 4: Recruiting

CEOs obsess over finding talent.

As the CEO of You, build a strong network. Cultivate positive, motivated, and inspiring people who can provide guidance, accountability, and new opportunities.

Be just as decisive in cutting those who hold you back.

Capability 5: Decision-Making

CEOs make tough decisions to drive progress.

Are your daily decisions intentional or on auto-pilot? Cultivate strong analytical skills by writing down critical choices, considering potential risks and rewards, and then courageously executing. https://t.co/t03xwy0L6V

CEOs have their finger on the pulse of their company.

Apply this principle to yourself.

Stop lying to yourself and live by the numbers.
