The Grey Area Between Growth & Lifestyle CEOs

We’ve all heard about Growth and Lifestyle CEOs. What kind of CEO are you?

The latter runs a steady, stable business, likely for many years. The former focuses on buying, growing and selling enterprises, focusing on the top line, profitability and overall value. One is not better than the other; but, the decision to adopt a growth or lifestyle approach affects every aspect of your professional mission, and must be taken individually. The only “bad” decision is failing to chose at all.
This grey area, occupied by CEOs afraid to admit they want “lifestyle,” is a dangerous place to rest. Leaders in the grey area exhibit inconsistent and illogical behavior. Their vision does not align with their strengths, goals or business capacity. Patrick Lee can help you determine what kind of CEO you are – and want to be – and how aligning the two will make you a more effective leader for your company.
