What Makes a Great CEO?
Throughout our partnership, CEOs are expected to nail three things. Hire A-players and build a great culture, set the vision and priorities, and drive results and accountability.
I think I'm a classic entrepreneur in that I see a gap or a problem area and I want to go solve it. So, problem solver is probably how I describe myself early in my journey. What I've learned as a CEO is to scale. I had to learn to lead through other people and that solving a problem was really nice, but executing to scale was more important. So early in the journey, problem solver, entrepreneur, I can fix this. And as businesses grew, come to realize that until I learned to lead through others, I would never create anything of significance.
