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.

If you are a jerk, you'd better be brilliant




IF YOU ARE A JERK (and you know what I really mean) THEN YOU'D BETTER BE BRILLIANT


If you are not the smartest person in your company
If you don't have a vision for what could be that is embedded in detail in your DNA
If you don't have the fortitude to bring your vision to fruition no matter what
If you can't live, eat and breathe what it is you want to create
Then you can't afford to be an asshole.

You need to get nice.
Learn how to include
Learn how to celebrate
Learn how to share the limelight
Learn how to guard your integrity
Learn how to ask for help
Learn how much you don't know

Because if you aren't a brilliant jerk, you won't be forgiven
