The CEO’s toolbox

To perform any job, be it a Carpenter or a CEO, you need a set of tools and of course the competencies on how to use the tools.

• Strategy – conceptualise ‘Master Strokes’ to protect and grow the business
• Structure – creating internal ecosystems and defining jobs to be done
• Resourcing – attracting  and optimising high value-adding talent, beyond conventional payrolls
• Systems – value-adding workflows to ensure operational efficiencies
• Performance Management – setting targets and trackers for work deliverables and linking rewards/recognition to it
• Engagement – creating a conducive climate to optimise human performance.

Knowing which tools to use when, i.e., situational prudence, is key.
