Here are their 7 most common CEO superpowers and how you can unlock them to be a world-class CEO of You: -
Capability 1: Capital Allocation
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) June 3, 2023
Top CEOs allocate resources to maximize returns.
You are no different, except your resources are time and energy. Identify what truly matters to you, set priorities, and ruthlessly focus.
Play the long game with your life. -
Capability 2: Strategy
