- Make sure you've got a full-fledged built out executive team in place before bringing in a professional CEO role.
- Making 3-year, 12-quarter plans is better than annual planning.
- CEOs should track sales, expenses, and budget variances regularly.
- Bring lessons, not baggage, from the past.
- Understand the gap in your business goal and think of the forward-looking metrics to move to impact that gap.
- Rocks are inputs, not outputs.
- If you keep doing what you've always been doing, you're going to get the same results, maybe even worse.
- Key initiatives are the new things you need to do over and above what you are already doing.
- When your business grows bigger, you need to upgrade to a new operating system.
- An OS is made up of 3 things: a set of algorithms, a common language, and desired outputs.
- Growth is about hiring for your weaknesses. Scale is hiring for your strengths.
- No one is going to be as good as you at every aspect of your business, but many people will be better than you at any one thing if that's the only thing to focus on.
