056 - The 3 E’s in CEO

What does it mean to be the CEO? (Hint: We’re not talking about the traditional “E” for “executive”).

Turns out that the C“E”O means being the chief of three vital E’s of your business: Energy, Enthusiasm and Edification.

Energy means setting and directing the energy of the business. Enthusiasm means lifting others up as we are being pushed by our mission and pulled by our purpose. Edification means empowering team members with authority, responsibility and accountability.

EPISODE QUOTES

“Our role as the CEO is to determine what’s important now and what’s important next. Our job is to collect and direct the aggregate energy of our team and point it in the direction what is important now and what is important next.” (03:38) (Dr. Stephen)

“Alright guys, so you heard it right there. So, it’s energy, it’s enthusiasm, it’s edification. It’s not everything. We’ve got to get this right. There’s a lot of dysfunctions out there. It’s very easy to be a dysfunctional CEO. It’s very easy to be a dysfunctional chiropractor.” (05:15)

“As the CEO, your job is to be able to walk into a room and take the temperature. You should be able to take that metaphorical temperature, to check the state of your team in that team huddle, to check the state of your waiting room, to check the state of your hot seats and relaxation center.” (14:33)

“Energy is everything. Energy comes from us; we carry energy. We’re force fields.” (18:57)

“I want to talk about the culture of celebration because what you celebrate you replicate. And so when you are able to edify – which is recognition of something good that someone did, or said, or how they showed up, or how they were being – when you can identify that you actually will begin to replicate that.” (27:35)

“Although you might not be able to change your current situation or you might not be able to change your current circumstances, you can choose your attitude. And when you choose your attitude it will absolutely change your experience in it and your effectiveness within it.” (31:28)
