🎧Run Yourself Like A CEO

I used to have eight or nine meetings on my calendar a day. I felt busy all day, but still wondered, “What did I achieve?”I recently read CEO Secrets and CEO Excellence, and both books made me think about this question: how do we run ourselves with more focus, steadiness, and follow-through?I’ll talk about how to know what is creating pressure, decide what matters now, use one simple scoreboard, and turn messy conversations into business decisions.I’ll also cover how to delegate without losing sight, stay calm when things go wrong, and recover without turning every mistake into a blame session.Think of this as a reset for your busy week: fewer distractions, better decisions, and a way to keep the right things moving forward.You’ll walk away with:* A way to see what is causing pressure.* A filter for what deserves your attention.* One scoreboard you can check every week.* A better way to run your weekly reviews.* A simple A/B decision method.* A way to delegate, lead, and recover.Second Draft (SD²) is a reader-supported publication.
