Leaders of companies of any size, at any stage of development spend a lot of time focused on growing the business. We develop our game plan and ensure that we are optimally executing on our objectives. We concentrate on looking forward.
Every good business story has a conflict and triumph at the core and a turning point where a transformation takes place.
On the professional side, I derive great happiness and energy by solving tough business and organisational problems - even taking on tough meetings with customers.
I know that my day wouldn't be nearly as streamlined or productive if it weren't for my team - a team that begins with my Executive Assistant.
I don't like to get too caught up in habits because too much structure can stifle creativity. But there are a few habits that make us more productive and are healthy to work into every workweek, if not every day. I love to start the day with a workout - even just a run on the treadmill while catching up on the morning headlines.
Whether you lead an early-stage startup or a well-established company, it is critical to challenge yourself and your team to prepare for the next disruptive force - be it a shift in the market, a new consumer trend, or a competing innovation.
