How do you think of yourself as the CEO? A shift in perspective from functional to visionary can transform your company. Here is some food for thought about your identity as the CEO of your company. This post by Dr. Linne Bourget on the Startup Growth Expert website suggests a shift in your perspective from dealing with individual issues to focusing on the company as a whole. This can change not only your approach to running your company, but the entire culture of the company from top to bottom. Dr. Bourget says, “Your entire business derives from your identity as a CEO—or lack thereof.”
Sometimes it’s difficult to gain that perspective on your own. That’s where a trusted advisor can help. Fresh eyes on the company with what Van calls a “10,000 foot view” can help you develop a big-picture focus on the company that will pull you out of the micro-management mentality and aid strategic planning. This approach will then enable you to focus your resources and your team better to make your company more profitable.
