Why Optimism Can Destroy Your Strategy (The lesson)

Why the strongest number two gets passed over for CEO

The better you lead, the less truth reaches you

In the top job, who do you tell when you are not sure?

Nobody warns you the truth stops reaching you at the top

The conversation you keep avoiding

Your team copies your state, not your strategy

The strength that got you here is becoming your ceiling

Nobody warns you how lonely the top job gets

The truth stops reaching you before anyone lies to you

Getting considered and getting chosen are two different games

In the first five minutes, a board decides more than you think
