you know, putting them in one place, and then living

with them. That is what goes into building a company

USE TRIAGING

Triaging is a medical term that refers to the process

for sorting injured people into groups based on their

need for or likely benefit from immediate medical

treatment . A company at start is burdened with

many tasks. As a CEO, it is your 1st responsibility to

understand the issues that are fatal and those that

are less urgent and allocate time accordingly.

EDIT AND SIMPLIFY

People can’t understand and keep track of a long

complicated set of initiatives. One of the most

important tasks of a CEO is to clarify and simplify

tasks for everybody on the team. The higher the

level of simplification, the higher the success.

Simplify every initiative, every product, every

marketing task and everything you do.

FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT MATTERS MOST

Narrow down the things that matter most for the

growth of the company and focus on those. When

you narrow down the focus you are faced with

fewer distractions, which allows you to make

prompt decisions.

feel like it is being written by and voiced by a

single person

and understanding of market demands.

perfectly synced with your current

business focus.

DELEGATE TASKS

80% of your results come from 20% of your

talents and activities. Delegate the 80% of

your activities that only produce 20% of your

results. CEOs should think, lead, and

delegate -- not handle trivial matters.

PROMOTE TALENT

There might be many employees in your

company, but not all of them are talented,

and not all of them have what it takes to

go the extra mile and deliver the result.

Identify those people and reward them.
