Unlocking the Modern CEO

Unlocking the Modern CEO

Managing Your Internal and External Board of Directors

From Business of Software, April 2022.

I discuss why managing an effective external board for your organisation starts with understanding and managing your own internal board.

Based on my background in Neuroscience I talk about the discrete and sometimes conflicting subpersonalities you have and how they affect your decision making

You can learn to manage your mind, the voices you amplify and control in different contexts. The same is true for external boards – each member comes with unique history and perspective. I share how understanding your inner board allows you to manage your board’s voices, amplify the right voices at the right time and know how to find your next superpower.

The Psychology of Decision Making

Given at The Conference, Malmo.

I’m mr Joe and I help CEOs and their businesses thrive.

Success isn't incremental. It's a game of chutes / snakes and ladders; it's time to climb the ladders. I bring 15 years in tech, $20b in added revenue, experience with 30+ startups and FTSE / NASDAQ / Fortune 100 giants. Together we can do great things.
