While 2020 may have left us with more unfinished business than most years, the truth is that every business always has unfinished business for which you should have a plan. Part of the job of the remarkable CEO is to remain agile, taking back control of the situation by resetting the priorities and plans.

EPISODE QUOTES
“When you focus on the things you don’t have influence over, your influence contracts. Whereas if you really focus on those things where you do have influence, your influence grows. And that’s what we all want.” (03:50)
“There’s an equation that we follow as productive, successful CEOs running productive, successful businesses. And that is, Assess, Plan, Prepare, Execute, Assess Repeat. And the acronym we use for that is APPEAR. We want your positive outcomes to appear.” (05:16) (Dr. Stephen)
“If you don’t do the Assess on the bookends, what ends up happening is you’ll repeat but you’ll never grow or improve. So you’ll end up spinning your wheels. You’ll have friction but no traction.” (08:09)
“This framework applies to all the aspects of your business. And as you innovate – as you adapt, as you’re agile – you continue to use APPEAR so that you continue to manifest your vision.” (10:33)
“I’m going into the next couple years as a leader who’s committed to being agile and saying, ‘I’m gonna show up with my Plan and my Prepare. And part of my prepare is that I’m going to be prepared to be agile.’” (14:26)
