Fortune 1000 CEOs and these are very common goals.

Every morning I will force myself out of bed and spend twenty minutes to write what I want from the day.

This is a great way to make sure that you organize your day and priorities.

I will only spend time on things that are most important to cash flow and long term strategy.

That is the job of a CEO.

I will never meet with anyone for more than 5 minutes unless I have written down why I am meeting with them.

As a CEO, there are lots of people who want pieces of their time, usually more time than there is in a day, and if someone is on their schedule, they sure as hell need to know why.

I will always give crisp, clean goals and feedback to my subordinates... especially if they don't like it

As an employee, don't you want to know what you should be doing and how you are performing to these goals?


I will never assume that people will do the right or noble(?) thing.

As a CEO, they have assumed responsibility for not just their company but for every investor, customer and employee (in no particular order). Because of this, they have to question what is being done and why but that doesn't always play out the way they want.

They are not motivated by what I am motivated by.

Try this: look at someone...anyone...and try to guess what their motivations are. Are you right? Do you know? What would you do if you asked them and found out their motivations were not in alignment with yours?
