No matter what's happened the day before, they just keep turning up and delivering.”   In today’s minisode I am going to share with you something that perhaps we haven't spoken about as much on the show previously, and these are the 5 Mindsets of elite CEOs and Chiefs.

One of the other great things we have learned about CEOs and Chiefs over the years is that they come in all colours of the rainbow and they are really such a diverse group of people. Remember, our definition of a true chief is not necessarily that you are in a CEO role, it's actually that you have found your level, a role that is right for you and that is aligned to your values, and one that allows you to demonstrate your skill and achieve a level of mastery.
