I Deliver Hit Products To CEOs
I have built a successful 30-plus-year CEO-level management career, and now a successful consulting practice implementing one simple belief about running a business -- any business:
Your primary goal is to launch hit products.
If you embrace and nurture this value in your management actions, and deep in your company's culture, your business will outperform even your wildest expectations.
Not "Products." Hit Products.
I am amazed at how many companies I see who think that growth is accomplished by bringing an endless flood of generic products to market. What happened to the notion of bringing one massive hit product to market, instead? Why do companies make piles of innocuous junk, and not focus resources on delivering one or a small group of true hit products? Where are your hit products?
Most CEOs Are Oblivious
I know. I have spent the past three-years talking with dozens of them -- about specific ways they could seize new markets, radically boost profits, totally dominate entire product categories. And, I have watched in amazement as each of them eventually failed to make the needed commitments, or adopt the required measures to implement these strategic opportunities for growth.
Oblivious. These men (thus far, no women on the list) lead companies, several of them Fortune 1000 companies, but have no sense of the wider world in which they and their companies exist, no awareness of the broader issues underlying their success or failure, and no vision for charting a forward path that takes their businesses to surprising new heights. These CEOs are to a man managers, not leaders. And, given the power imbued in their positions, and the rare capabilities this power creates for changing the world, the utter lack of strategic sensibilities I have encountered in this group is astonishing.
Somewhere there must certainly be a CEO who is not blind to growth opportunities. I still cling to this hope. If you are that rarest of all creatures, please contact me. I can help you. If you are clever enough to know that great ideas well implemented are the keys to upsetting the balances currently holding back your company's growth, we need to talk.
