A lesson I wish I learned earlier: CEO Architect > CEO Engine The engine is the thing that makes the business move. If it stops, everything stops. Architects don't move the business. They design the system that moves it without them.
After optimizing business processes and tech in your digital supply chain, the human element is crucial. Without people executing effectively, operational and technological improvements mean nothing. #SupplyChain #DigitalTransformation #Leadership https://t.co/axUSHIj3uJ
You are not supposed to be the best at everything in your business. You are supposed to have the vision, set direction, build the environment And hire people who can execute better than you. That’s how you scale.
Think your problem is strategy? Maybe. But it’s just as likely that decision-making structures are slowing you down instead. Because if decisions take too long, nothing else works the way it should. https://t.co/2yOttcZwQ0 #DecisionMaking #OrganizationalDevelopment https://t.co/FP3iUPeNKe
Airbnb lost 80% of its business in 8 WEEKS during COVID. They were bleeding $250M/month and on the verge of collapse. One year later? They IPO'd at $100B. Brian's leadership turnaround is the greatest crisis management story in modern business. Here's how he pulled...
Everyone wants to be AI-first. Almost no one wants to fix the foundations. AI agents. LLMs. MCPs. A2A everywhere. Because that’s what everyone is talking about. CEOs push the “AI-first” narrative. More demos. More prototypes. More speed. Impressive on the surface. But what stands out...
“It’s working. Why change it?” That mindset kills more progress than failure ever will. I’ve seen it often: Something works → results come in → comfort sets in And slowly, building turns into protecting. The shift is subtle: From “What’s possible?” To “What’s safe?” That’s where growth stalls. Strong...

Trusting your team becomes easy when: → expectations are clear → SOPs exist → outcomes are defined → work is visible Most “trust issues” are actually structure problems and also your own trauma but that's a convo for another day
Harvey CEO Winston Weinberg's big regret: not building in public. "There was a lot of secrecy in the beginning. If I would do things over again, I would have figured out how to build in public faster." Being secretive wasn't deliberate or...
Personality assessments are less concerned with articulating an individual's work style. Instead, they are powerful inasmuch as they create a shared language for advisory teams to discuss individual role fit, from workload to personality. https://t.co/C2rSx28zLD In this article, Senior Financial Planning...
You don’t gain respect or compliance from employees by reminding them “you’re the boss” when you’re upset, and then patting their backs after you chewed their head off.
I talked about Apple at 50 in this week’s AVALON podcast episode. Later this year will mark 12 years of covering Apple’s every move via Above Avalon. That’s a quarter of Apple’s life. While we can’t ignore Apple’s early years...

Every founder and CEO should read all they can about the drama triangle. If you cannot face another person directly, you will drag a third person in and call it process. That is how companies rot from the inside.
"Technology does not break cohesion. But it removes the margins that once sustained it automatically. Preserving combat effectiveness...requires leaders to see cohesion clearly...as a living network that must be continually reinforced." @WarInstitute https://t.co/yfviYCzXws

Almost every time a founder is pressured by a board member, investor or advisor to make a major hire quickly, typically with absurd demands, it’s resulted in a bad hire — with a giant severance package 🤔 Hire slowly Hire missionaries...
I am often asked how I use my framework in real-time. Here is what I wrote about Nike just after Elliott Hill was named CEO, and why I wasn't excited about his selection. To be clear, it was less about...
If you look at the story structure most movies use, you'll notice that roughly 10% of the time is for the beginning, 10% is for the ending, and 80% is the “messy middle”... which is the part leaders prefer to...
I asked 1000+ Hampton founders (all doing at least 3M ARR): has hitting your career goals actually made you happier? Here's what they said: - Founder A (sold multiple companies): "Revenue milestones felt good briefly, then faded. But being able to buy...
Most founders send a login and wait for feedback. Hewitt Tomlin showed up in person, called coaches, built real relationships. His very first customer from 12 years ago is still someone he talks to today. https://t.co/PbIlyv1cUM
Enterprises operate across several cultures. Each has its own purpose, cadence, and success criteria. Each calls for a different style of leadership. Treat them as interchangeable, and confusion follows. A more effective move is to identify which culture you are...
“Any manager/leader who can’t put stuff into action, is uninspiring, a poor communicator, or lacks the bottle to deal with issues effectively is likely to fail. Unless they get robust #leadershipdevelopment support, that is.” 🔍 https://t.co/ysdPb3UXGz #leadership #management https://t.co/IUXhbat36F
“We’re not being bold enough. We’re not being visionary enough, and we are falling into the habits that we have had during every technological revolution, to fit it into the box of business as usual,” https://briansolis.com/2026/04/beyond-digital-transformation-the-ai-first-business-revolution/
You have a strategy. You have goals. You may even have OKRs. …and there’s still a gap between what you plan and what actually happens. A Kirkus reviewer called that gap “a fatal distance between aspiration and accomplishment” — and said the...

The most important quality an agency owner can have for success has nothing to do with sales, or hiring, or positioning. It’s believing the best is yet to come. You must possess a genuine, deep conviction that your biggest, most important...

$AAPL's greatest product wasn't the iPhone. It was the culture Jobs built to outlast him. 50 years in, that edge is as sharp as ever. Thank you, Steve. #Apple50 https://t.co/mb5vJTZqm5 https://t.co/VlrPrdXVE7
Here’s my response to a question I got about managing extra leadership responsibilities on this week’s episode of Ask Jeb. If your compensation plan is for an individual performer but your daily tasks are for a director, you are being torn...
Is 'resistance to change' just an excuse for poor preparation? When training is irrelevant and communication is generic, people struggle. Blaming them isn't the solution. #ChangeManagement #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture https://t.co/NNPCnBf93n
We overestimate breakthrough moments and underestimate accumulation. Large outcomes are rarely the result of a single decisive act, they are the residue of repeated, small, directional actions. The discipline is not ambition; it’s consistency at a granular level. Strategy fails...
Jack Dorsey argues that AI enables companies to eliminate layers of middle management as they only exist to pass information back and forth upper levels to frontline workers. Basically AI has access to all of the data and communications at the...
Your team will never have the full context that you have as the founder. And that’s not a knock on them, it’s just the reality of leadership. Your job is to trust your instincts and lead them in the direction...
