How much of your revenue is passive?

• Any business activities in which the earner does not materially participate.
• Extending this: how much revenue is dependent on you coming to work?
• What happens if you stay away for 3 months?
• If you anticipate disruption and issues….then an opportunity
• If you anticipate no issues…..then an even bigger opportunity



If you are like the majority

• You like to try new things?
• You have little time to waste and jump at the opportunity to try out a new process to speed things up?
• You like to save money while reducing the headaches in your life?
• You want to grow and build and get a much better than average return on effort, risk capital
• Make time for yourself
• More control

Common CEO circumstances

• Domain knowledge/ entrepreneurial flair in place
• Risk capital invested
• Customers in, the business cycle moves, growth happens

Even when growing and profitable

• Execution is a challenge
• CEO‟s know that some areas should be different
• Growth & profitability are often not managed structurally
• The CEO and team differ vastly in terms of capability
• Low level of objective and open discussion?
• People just so eager to agree with you ?
• Low feedback on leadership style and impact
• Inadequate customer focus. Not defined
• Organization is dependent on experiential learning or observation from role models.
