A leaders real job- Turn nice to haves into must haves
I’ve acted as a leader, and helped companies go through so called transformations. I think change management is fleeting to some extent as a term. I tell myself as well as those I work with our jobs as leaders are pretty simple but they are an obligation. Being a VP is not a perk or […]

That First Year as CEO
I read a recent HBR article entitled Inside the First Year as a CEO by Ty Wiggins and Rebecca Davies. The two surveyed a small, gender diverse, number of CEO’s regarding their first 12-18 months of leadership. The results resonated with me as both a senior executive and advisor to senior teams.

“Reaching beyond our grasp”
That is how a company I was working with recently described their effectiveness at driving change. Its the primary job of leadership to drive change; not just keep the ship afloat. They have a sense of urgency, they work very hard, they are aligned. Their people understand how to start, solve and implement changes that […]

A tongue in cheek way to use chatGPT4o to improve how you engage your staff around OKRs!

Building Context Builds Execution Builds Strategy
I cringe at times when I look at acquisition due diligence, thick competitive analysis, and pages long strategy power points. Not because of any bureaucracy or over analytical nature of such things. One of my earliest lessons, a company where we essentially banned power point presentations was that if you can’t whiteboard your strategy in […]

Innovation: Slowly and Suddenly
There is a paper written by a number of Google employees from 2017 entitled All You Need is Attention. Yet OpenAI was the first to leverage transformer architecture at scale and into the general public. As I opened Chrome today to the promise of AI helping me to write “better,” among other improvements to Chrome, […]

When Every Company is a Technology Company
I’ve had a bunch of conversations with friends, and clients and companies recently that indicate the digital market is just getting more complicated; and that understanding your customer, or user and yourself has never been more paramount. Buy vs. Build seems so BC(before covid). Now its a hybrid approach and has become very fluid. Taking […]

What Exchange Leaders Know and Don’t
I was at FIA Boca last week. Google was there in force to sell their hosting. They mentioned AI in their presentation, but there panels were an unclear advertisement that demonstrated how little they know about capital markets. The exchange leaders panel was my favorite. Deutche Bourse, CME, CBOE and oddly Nasdaq. What seemed certain? […]
