CEO Bandwidth Challenges?
As CEO you are responsible for it all:
● Meet your financial targets and operational goals,
● Oversee critical projects and timelines,
● Fundraise,
● Articulate your company and value propositions to various stakeholders,
● Skillfully manage your Board dynamics,
● Stay abreast of marketplace trends, competitive threats and opportunities,
● Consider M&A opportunities
…all while reinforcing your corporate culture and effectively leading your employees. Any of these areas can suddenly present unexpected, and sometimes very serious challenges.
Could you use some backup? Do you need to be in two places at once? Do you wish you had someone to handle more routine tasks to increase your capacity? Do your less-experienced team members need periodic senior Operations guidance? Whether you’d like to leverage some veteran experience or bounce your thoughts off a colleague with a fresh set of eyes and perspective, I offer immediate plug & play bandwidth to CEOs.
