Want to Be a High-Achieving Executive? Do Fewer Things
The best executives know what they do well, and what they don't.
I've worked with hundreds of executives over the last two decades, helping them figure out how to grow and scale their businesses and build high-performance teams. And while I'm generally focusing on the overall business growth and success, I've learned that if we're going to scale a business, we also need to scale the people running it. If we don't, we'll quickly hit limits and ceilings.
The challenge in many early-stage companies is that the executives running them often don't have as much deep experience in critical areas needed for growth. Usually, the founding team is still learning and evolving their skills and depth of knowledge in the domain. This is good in the beginning when things are moving quickly, as you need flexible leaders who can quickly learn in new environments. But as you scale, you begin needing expertise and depth as well.
Here are three key questions I ask leaders facing the challenge of how to evolve and plan their professional development. These will not only help the business create the best leadership team; they will help keep people engaged and motivated throughout the growth process.
What are you doing that you shouldn’t? What high-value areas could you invest more time in if you prioritized better?
