It’s been a while since my last post on CEO Insights. I didn’t disappear. I’ve been deep in the trenches. Writing. Advising. Listening to the stories you don’t read in headlines. The raw, unfiltered truth behind the CEO title.
Over the past two plus years, I have been working on my second book:
What Every CEO Must Know: 37 Secrets to Lead with Confidence and Power.
This book is different. It is not based on some theory or generic leadership advice. It is not the usual “rah-rah” leadership fluff. It is a field manual for CEOs who want fewer unforced errors due to blind spots and more wins faster. Inside are real stories from real CEOs. Founders. Operators. Risk-takers. They made mistakes you will recognize and recovered in ways you need to know.
Why now? Because the game has changed.
AI is rewriting the rules. Markets shift overnight. Talent is restless. Capital is tight. And the pressure on first-time CEOs is brutal. And AI is bringing to us all more first-time CEOs than ever before. I want to help them not become an early statistic.
Here is the truth:
- Blind spots kill companies faster than bad ideas.
- Culture is not a poster. It is how you show up every day.
- Clarity beats clever. Every single time.
On LinkedIn, I have started sharing my take on these themes.
Clarity, not cleverness. The CEO who overcomplicates loses the team.
Innovation blind spots. Stop chasing yesterday’s market while tomorrow eats your lunch.
My mission has not changed. I help CEOs, especially first-time leaders, lead with confidence, power, and fewer mistakes.
If you have followed my #FridayCEOTips, you know I do not sugarcoat. This blog will be no different. Expect stories, insights, and, yes, a few spicy takes on what’s broken in the CEO playbook and how to fix it.
If you are a CEO or on your way to becoming one, buckle up. The next posts will dig into the lessons that matter most. The smallest blind spot can derail the biggest vision.
If you’d like an early look at the book before it’s released, stay tuned. The secrets are coming.
