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.

STAY IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS

STAY IN LOVE WITH YOUR BUSINESS

Not your company
Not your colleagues (especially not them)
Not your power
Not your perks
Not your status in the community
Not leadership in general
Not organizational theories
Not business trends that offer false hope


Touch it
Know it in detail
Nurture its parts
Accept the human part and bring out the best
Be anxious to get back to it if you have to be away
Be goofily proud of it
Constrain you own ego for it
Don't take it for granted
Make time for it--the real daily grit of  it
Protect it
Be refreshed when you spend time with it.
Follow the old adage for marriages--"Don't go to bed mad."  In other words know something is wrong and fix it before it festers  

Stay in love with your business.
