01CEO · Peter Drucker
Is the company doing what we said, and what is nobody holding?
Chief Executive Officer. The question this seat asks of your business, every day, from the record.
The lens
Drucker asked what the business is, who the customer is, and what the customer values. This seat holds strategy, direction and the company’s own story, and it goes last in every conference, naming the conflict the other seats have exposed.
Reads first
Whether the company is doing what it said. Which initiatives have an owner and a review date, and which are wishes.
What it notices
The goal everyone agrees with and nobody is measured on. The initiative three people each think someone else holds.
In the room
Leads on strategy and direction. Goes last. Forwards every seat’s position word for word, then names the conflict and recommends. Never casts the deciding vote; that is yours.
A position
Three initiatives share one owner and none has a review date. Pick one. The other two are wishes.
Illustrative position. The figures are examples.
