In coaching CEOs, I emphasize the critical nature of time management as a vital asset. Unlike previous roles, CEOs encounter diverse stakeholders with unique needs, compelling them to allocate their time judiciously. A personal CEO agenda is crucial—it should encapsulate key priorities, not just a list of company initiatives. I advise new CEOs to distill goals to their top priorities to enhance focus and effectiveness in driving business success, allowing them to manage their schedule and responsibilities effectively amidst constant demands.
The CEO agenda is an expression of your personal priorities for some stated period. It determines how you will deploy to maximum effect a significant amount of that crucial and finite corporate asset: your time.
CEOs face unique time pressures with enormous responsibilities and various stakeholders, each demanding a place on their calendar which influences business success.
The way they allocate their time has major ramifications for the success of the business, and it's vital for them to maintain control of their agenda.
When working with new CEOs, I advise them to start by listing their top 10 priorities for the year—and then lopping the bottom six or seven off the list.
