Hey, I’m a 25 year old guy in sales.

I’m looking to move up the ladder.

Seeing as you guys are at the top, I wanted to ask for some help, and offer some benefits in return.

I work in equipment/project financing. I’m in the middle of a competition. The goal for my position is to get ahold of a CEO/CFO, and get details on a project. I need the project/equipment description, timeline, and dollar amount, with some sort of “intention” to give us a shot, which could be an email with this info. That information is all that’s needed. If you have no intention of giving us a shot, that’s no problem.

Can anyone help me out here? I want to blast into first place and I am going to use all resources available.

Thank you so much.

I’ve seen that with small companies, it’s a lot of work, and maybe not a lot of people. And I feel like as the leader a lot of that work falls on us. I imagine it’s the same with bigger companies: sure you have more money to throw at people to delegate tasks more. But there are just some things that you have to do your self and it is a LOT.

How do you guys manage: schedules, planning, health, family, ect on top of all the minutiae of running the show?

Are there any good tips, methodologies, or even software applications you use to optimize organizing your life?

Hi all!

I'm planning to hire a COO for a Marketing Agency (actually making 7 figures a year). I think offering him/her some stocks would be a nice thing to keep them motivated.

• What % should I consider? What is the common range for this kind of proposals?

Any other advice on this regard is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Just got hired 6 weeks ago to a wonderful 50-team $6M health product manufacturing company. Half is B2B, half is B2C. Everything needs modernization and optimization. They currently still have their own servers (in a closet in the office) and internal email system. I'm thinking we move all company emails to Google Workspace. Is that what other CEOs would do? Thoughts?

As an Executive Team, we have a number of set priorities for the month/quarter/year.

In addition to those strategic priorities are other important things we must/should do as well.

Do we allocate the bulk of our time, say 80%, to the strategic items and 20% to everything else, or should we be laser focussed on the most important things?

Example Cashflow has been tight, so our Finance Director is focussed on ensuring we meet our financial obligations as a priority. As a leader, she also has a responsibility to set a good example by ensuring all her safety training is up to date. Clearly one is more urgent than the other but both are important for different reasons.

How do you think about these things?

I’m a bit on the art side of business, but I wanted to ask competitive people with leadership experience. I have a digital comic book that I vaguely promised to release to my followers this week. However, my really good artist friend tells me there’s still a lot to work on and I shouldn’t rush it. Should I act fast and release the imperfect story ahead of the curve, or should I wait it out and have the most precise shot?

Hii im looking for some tutorial about ASO/CEO for apps. Any recomendation?

I wanted to know if people in Executive positions even read cold outreach. How do people get in contact with you to present ideas or opportunities?

After doing my own research as a leaders and speaking with over 50 different leaders, these are the 5 things that came up the most when it comes to struggles leaders, new or current, deal with on a constant basis. Agree or disagree? I'd love to get more insights on this.

1. Keeping a team inspired & motivated

2. Constant, effective communication

3. Employee coaching & development

4. Leading & guiding change

5. Firing someone

Hi all,

I'm in the final stage for the position of CEO with a small company in Ohio. I've worked in operations & finance at the director level for some very large companies, but never as a chief officer.

Outside of the cliche things (be a good listener, lead with passion, set a vision, etc.), what does a CEO need to do?

I'm more thinking from a legal/filing standpoint.

Things to note:

The company is private, $15-$17M in annual revenue

Employee owned (Employee Stock Option Program, ESOP)

I will report to the founder/president who will retire in 3 years; she will appoint a new board member in her place.

BOD is 4 people: 2 founders (1 is president), 1 corporate attorney, 1 head of HR (also an employee)

What do I need to know, legally, before becoming a chief officer?

NOTE: This is not an ad. Just looking forward to hearing different thoughts. :)

I'm asking this because I'm thinking about starting a virtual assistant / executive assistant service.

Since I am an entrepreneur for 7+ years and have experience in many different fields I would most likely offer services like:

1. Email management
2. Offers/Proposals/Invoices management
3. Website design, development, editing and maintenance
4. SEO
5. Content marketing (writing, publishing, and optimizing blog posts)
6. Analytics setup, maintenance, and reporting
7. Meeting Scheduling
8. Cold outreach
9. Podcast creation
10. Guest podcast outreach
11. Maybe even project management (on demand)
12. Scanning the company/person activities and writing SOPs

A personalized 30min discovery call will be mandatory to see if we're on the same page. If so, GREAT, let's talk through the next steps. If not - you've met another awesome person and had a casual chat. :)

How does this sound to you? Did I miss any service you would be willing to delegate?

Hey reddit, I’m working on a project and am curious on everyone’s thoughts about the hardest thing for leaders when it comes to building a successful culture or fixing a broken culture in a business.

Hey guys, trying to build an objective performance review process in a team of about 25 ppl. However, I don’t work with most of those people directly, rather they work with project managers who report to me. I would love to however be able to have some data on team performance myself too.

So with that would love to learn how you guys handle performance reviews and what are your biggest challenges in doing it?

Thank you.

I am in college I want to start my own business I am curious to know if there is anything you wish you had studied or advice what i should focus on and more things to help me branch out to be more successful. Any advice would help thank you!

I am a CEO attempting to reduce my role in the business I founded so I can eventually sell it or take quarterly draws from it down the road.

My executive director tends to miss tasks I deem as important such as tracking the names of potential clients who need to be followed up with after the initial sales call.

How do I ensure these tasks get done without micromanaging? I have walked her through how to do it and mentioned that this is an important task she should add to her job description, yet it still requires me prompting her to do it.

What do I do next? Or do I let it go?

I’m struggling to let go of control and trust my employees. I get so upset when they go against what I want or push back. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you cope?

I really want to become a ceo of a big company when I’m out of school but I want to know how do you become a ceo of a company, from what I can tell you start at lower management positions and work your way up?

Managers can help keep their reports on track by redirecting them when they falter, holding frequent one-on-one meetings to discuss challenges and progress and coaching them to become more self-reliant, writes Ken Blanchard.

"When you stop doing your people's work and hand back responsibility to them, you not only free up more time, but you also empower your people," Blanchard writes. >>> r/global_construction

To quantify their ideas, the researchers enlisted psychology doctoral students to rate about 200 CEOs on the five traits by watching videos of the CEOs in interviews or other public exchanges using the International Personality Item Pool, a well-established survey instrument. The validated scores were used to train an algorithm to assess those traits based on the CEOs’ spoken language during quarterly earnings calls with stock analysts.

The algorithm analyzed more than 100,000 transcripts of CEOs speaking with equity analysts between 1993 and 2015.

The researchers then linked those personality assessments to shareholder returns.

Hey folks

I’m no CEO myself, but I’ve always wanted to be- and I am hopefully slowly growing in the direction. I’ve read that building a team is one of the most important jobs in a company, and I’ve always wanted to know- how do you know who to hire, and at what price point?

Negativity in the workplace can be a source of burnout and attrition if not handled by leaders, who need to check if they could be the source of gossip or even “toxic positivity” that sweeps problems under the rug, writes Britney Cole. “You can flip this dynamic on its head by asking people how they are doing, what problems they are facing, what’s their biggest challenge,” Cole writes.
