This blog assumes that blind spots of power come with the CEO role no matter how good or true or well-intended you are. You can't afford to have them. So I give reminders of what I have seen in my experience to help you see. Or try to see. Monday morning practical tips will help you sharpen up and see what tweaks you and your blind spot. A little whack on the side of the head with your Monday morning coffee.

You have a virtual GRO-LITE on the top of your head
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY. 
 Where you turn your head things start to grow --
attention starts to be paid.  

 A  CEO who noticed an ice spot at the entrance and mentioned it
only to have an expensive heated floor installed the next day.  
 Or the Retail ops exec who obsessed about bananas on the shelf
and there were thousands of dollars of shrink in bananas 
that no-one cold figure out --
until this exec left.
When you ask a question tell why.
 If not, you will have people talking about the rationale
and making up delicious stories --
not knowing just how boring you can be.
