CEO Curiosity Frederick Sanger won two Nobel Prizes. Two of his PhD students also won Nobels. He described himself simply as “a chap who messed about in a lab.” #CEOJournal #Curiosity #Leadership

When I strip it down, leadership feels like two things: making decisions… and getting people to follow them. The rest is noise. #CEOJournal #Leadership

Communication. Almost everything can be said in two sentences. Should you add anything more? Yes. Respect and support. There must always be room for them. #CEOJournal #Communication #Leadership

2/2 It doesn’t stop there. Such leaders shape culture. Teams under them become more critical of each other, steal credit, and turn more aggressive toward colleagues. #Leadership #WorkCulture #CEOJournal #BadLeadership

1/2 Research at Manchester Business School (1,200 participants) looked at the impact of leadership style. Result? Working for a narcissistic or psychopathic boss makes employees more likely to fall into depression.

Buckingham Palace announced the death of Queen Elizabeth II in just two sentences: the Queen had died, and her son had become King. All the gravity, all the clarity, the transfer of power — in two lines. #Communication #Leadership #CEOJournal

Thomas Watson – the president of IBM in the 1940s – once predicted that the world would need “maybe five computers in total”. Not five types. Five computers. #CEOJournal #CEOCouriosity #Leadership #History #Tech

By 2030, the world will have 87.5M–437.5M leaders. Bosses. Managers. People responsible for others. And I thought I was special. I couldn’t be more wrong. #Leadership #Management #CEOJournal

2/2 That tone stuck with me. Not heroism. Not bravado. Just clarity. He wasn’t improvising—he was prepared. Note to self: build systems that stay calm when things go wrong. #Leadership #CrisisManagement #McRaven #CEOJournal #Planning

1/2 Admiral McRaven planned the Bin Laden raid using a decision matrix. Every scenario—yes/no, success/failure—was mapped. “What if a helicopter crashes?” It did. And in the Situation Room, he said calmly: “As you can see, a helicopter has crashed. We’re moving to Plan B.”

(2/2) They chose “Comrade.” For hours, Moscow wasn’t sure: respect… or mockery? One word could’ve sparked war. Note to self: tone matters. If one word can shake the world, it can shake a team too. #Leadership #Communication #ExecutiveNotes

1/2) June 1967. The U.S. President receives the first-ever hotline message from Soviet Chairman Kosygin. Crisis in the Middle East. Urgent response needed. But one question halts the Situation Room: How do we address him? “Chairman”? “Comrade”? “Mr.”?
