The CEO Minimum Viable Product
I thought I’d share a framework that I created and have frequently been using. It developed out of a conversation I was having with a first-time CEO and I wanted to give him a sense of where to start.
In my view, a CEO needs to get 6 broad areas right, in this order:
Profit security
Strategic sharpness
Impactful mentoring
Operational tightness
Conversation routines (Exco meetings, breakaways, weekly check-ins, etc.)
Internal communication
The above are self-explanatory, so I won’t expand too much on them, but a quick assessment against these will reveal areas of lightness or over-focus.
If you feel as though you need assistance with honing in on the above broad areas, please reach out to me.
