Questions to Ask Yourself as a CEO

Questions to Ask Yourself as a CEO

cfo impactful insights podcast Jun 16, 2023

 I'm a firm believer that the most quality advice you get is based on the quality of the questions you ask. There is no difference here between the questions you ask mentors, experts, consultants, advisors, and the questions you ask yourself. 

I think the questions you're asking yourself are what unlocks the next level of growth for you and your business. I want to share with you some of the key questions to ask yourself as the CEO of your business to help you take a different look at your problems, challenges, and struggles. 

 

The key takeaways from this episode are: 

1. The quality of advice is determined by the quality of questions asked: Whether you're seeking guidance from mentors or asking yourself questions, the questions you ask are crucial in unlocking growth and finding solutions.
2. Key questions for CEOs to ask themselves: Asking yourself important questions as a CEO can provide a different perspective on your business challenges. The first question is about staying connected to your "why," the second focuses on creating the right incentives for customers or the team, and the third explores embodying the future of the company in the present.
3. Thinking differently and challenging yourself: As a CEO, thinking differently and challenging yourself are essential aspects of driving growth and success in your business. By asking the right questions, you can gain new insights and strategies.
