Are you thinking and acting like a true CEO? This week, Hallie and I explore what it really looks like when a CEO creates the type of energy and momentum that empowers others, garners efficiency, and helps others own the outcomes of the decisions they are making. We give a real-life and current example of how everyone being on board together can help us all “charge the storm” with one common goal in mind, along with discussing the cost of what happens when a CEO has scattered and unclear energy. We shed light on why high-performing leaders have a narrow focus, and explain how to eliminate the distractions that prevent you and your team from being the highest and best-performing version of themselves.

[3:53] As a leader, you have to understand things that you’re trying to get across. How do you drum up the energy to do that and get everyone on board?
[4:04] Hallie and I discuss a real-life example from when I sent out an email to our organization to stir up some urgency.
[8:20] The more you work on embracing these characteristics and habits, the more you can extrapolate this conversation to become the CEO of your business, your life, and your family.
[9:39] Really professional people stay focused on what they are really good at. As a leader, one of the most important things you can do is to make sure you don’t have distractions in your organization that pull people’s energy away.
[15:25] High-level leaders charge toward the storm to get through faster.
[17:11] You influence your team to be the author of their outcomes and decisions, which in turn gives them more energy and confidence. We discuss how our model helps people make decisions that they can stand behind.
[22:46] As you empower people to make decisions, you also have to give them the framework for which to make decisions.
[25:40] If you say you are accepting of failure, you really have to be okay with it. So many people say they are open to failure from themselves or those around them but go out of their way to avoid it.
[26:41] If people are failing, are they failing at the same thing multiple times? Or are they still just learning?
[34:58] Being a CEO is creating that energy, giving people the authorship and ownership to think for themselves, and then cultivating this ability for them to take and make these decisions.
[43:00] When everyone in your organization starts to think like a CEO, you create momentum and are able to tackle the storm together.
