Obsessed with success!” This week on the Not Your Average CEO Lifeline Podcast, we’re sitting down with Steven Blue, a CEO with 26 years of experience, bestselling author, and keynote speaker. He shares how keeping a close eye on key metrics is the secret to staying ahead. No, you can’t run a company with your eyes closed—being obsessive about the details is what keeps things moving smoothly! Tune in to hear his take on margins, cost structures, and why staying on top of the numbers makes all the difference! Steven feels, being Not Your Average CEO means being the CEO your employees need, not the traditional CEO history has taught us. I'll give you an example - Most leaders think conflict is a bad thing. They avoid it at all costs. They are uncomfortable with it. When they hear it with their employees, they either cut it off or say “take it off line.” But conflict is not only not a bad thing, it is essential to all progress in an organization—and destructive if the organization ignores it. I encourage it. This content is brought to you by our sponsor, Virtual Assist USA. CEOs know that time is our most valuable asset.
