234. 2024 Reflections: Are You the CEO Your Career Deserves?
Manage episode 457356498 series 2974873
Do you think year-end reviews are just about listing what you did?
Think again.
In this episode, you'll learn how to assess your year like a CEO - because whether you're a founder, innovator or investor, you're running the company of YOU.
Most people focus on activities - meetings attended, features shipped, deals analysed. But real leaders focus on impact and power dynamics.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- How to evaluate what you actually transformed in 2024
- Why being busy with innovation initiatives isn't the same as real change
- How to tell if you're hiding in product development instead of facing the market
- How to shift power dynamics in your favour
- Why your team is bigger than you think (even if you work alone)
Part 1 of a special 2-part series on becoming the CEO your career deserves.
Resource mentioned in this episode:
- Tech for Non-Techies: 221. How Paypal innovates
