Thousands of other successful CEO's have subscribed and every month, you'll receive access to three things:

1. The strategies we use with our most successful CEO's to get results

3. The key elements to focus on and to avoid so you don't waste valuable resources and time

Back to The Point...5 Reasons Why CEO's Fail To See Results

Over the past six years, we've worked with 16 research and academic institutions with PhD's in neuroscience, performance psychology, etc. to solve the challenge "how can we get business professionals to perform at their highest potential?"

Based on our research and experience, we've identified the factors that lead to achieving results and the factors that lead to the failure of achieving results.

If you are not seeing the results you want, you should examine these five elements within yourself and your team members. In each of our studies, it was consistent that if someone was not seeing results, it was based on one of these five factors:

#1 Lack of Inspiration

Inspiration is literally fuel. Studies show that in order for you to execute and keep executing, you must have a certain threshold of inspiration. Sheer grit and will power can only get you so far. Without the right amount of inspiration, you'll be performing at a suboptimal level.

We believe that inspiration and motivation differ. Motivation feels like you are pushing yourself towards your goals and inspiration feels like you are being pulled towards them.

#2 Lack of Skills

We've noticed that when CEO's want to get from point A to point B, there is always a skill gap. This gap isn't just technical, it's also non-technical. These skills involve your ability to manage your internal state including your mindset, emotions, health, etc.

Some of the skill gaps are easily identifiable by you. Many are not and external insight from a consultant, coach, mentor or peers is required. You don't know what you don't know.

#3 Lack of Tenacious Execution

Your execution and the execution of your team must be tenacious. This requires a systematic approach that is constantly tracked, measured and improved. The challenge is that most CEO's look at the business systems rather than the people systems. The biggest factor influencing a person's execution is their personal habits and routines.

If you want to improve execution, start with your personal habits and routines those of your team members.

#4 Lack of Rapid Innovation

Innovation entails two main elements: creativity and problem solving. Both are skills and both can be taught. When you face a challenge, you must address it immediately. When you sense an opportunity, you must create it immediately.

Time is of the essence and therefore it must be rapid creativity and rapid problem solving. Otherwise, you'll be left behind.

#5 Lack of Active Sustainability

Active sustainability is how well you perform over time. Burnout is real and it's the biggest reason why people can't sustain their performance and can't continue to get results long-term. More and more people are feeling it. Yet, not very many CEO's discuss how burned out they feel.

You can't tell your Board of Directors because they may get rid of you and you can't tell your executive team because they look up to you for guidance. It's a difficult position to be in. If you want results long-term, you must learn how to take care of yourself. There is a science to it and we will share that with you in upcoming editions of this newsletter.
