Issue #10
Welcome to the tenth edition of?The Inquisitive Leader?newsletter,?a publication intended for the CEOs of VC and PE-funded companies and the investors who back them.
In my role as CEO coach, I ask lots of questions. So, let me answer two questions for you:
Q:?Why is this targeted at the leaders of institutionally funded companies?
A: Because once you take on capital you are committing to deliver a big outcome. The biggest exits are often founder-led. The focus of my practice is on helping CEOs grow faster than their companies in order to?deliver big outcomes.
Q:?Why is this called 'The Inquisitive Leader'?
A: I believe that powerful insights come from asking ourselves powerful questions. In each post below, I end by leaving you with questions to ask yourself.
Enjoy!
