Listen "What Founders Should Really Be Doing: CEOs vs COOs and the Chief of Staff role"
Episode Synopsis
Young founders, particularly in tech and SaaS, are turning themselves into COOs instead of CEOs.
The mistake here is this unconscious choice turns you into someone who works IN your business instead of ON your business.
I explain what the true role of the founder/CEO is, and how you can free up your time and energy by making the conscious choice to get a Chief of Staff into the COO role.
What you think you should be doing are NOT the decisions and activities that are effective as a founder/CEO.
