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.

I'M JUST A CEO— WHAT CAN I DO?


Just a CEO!!!  Most of the people who work for you would be surprised to hear that sentence.  In fact, I wish they knew how powerless you sometimes feel and how very human you are.

Still, all of us need to be as powerful as we can be in the ability to influence people—in a good way.

I think work matters tremendously to people. Not just jobs or roles, but using personal energy to do something that matters.

You, as a top leader have the ability/ power to:
—Create jobs
—Model fairness in power for people who may not ever have experienced it
—Give people voice 
—Allow people influence over decisions that impact them
—Make work meaningful by including everyone in every way
—Create a system where people know how to work with and respect differences
—Inspire people to be the best self they can be

Yes, I'm thinking of Paris.  JUST a CEO?
