The real job of a CEO isn’t running the day to day.
It’s accelerating the transformation everyone talks about but nobody prioritises.
A true Chief (Strategy) Execution Officer does five things relentlessly, every single day:
Makes the case for change impossible to ignore.
Refocuses the team on what truly shifts the future.
Cuts the noise and kills the clutter.
Protects momentum like oxygen. Small wins. Fast decisions. No drift.
Keeps the stakes visible so people know why it matters.
A Chief Execution Officer doesn’t just define the strategy.
They make it impossible not to execute it!
So ask yourself… Are you running the business, or transforming it?
