10 introspective questions for CEOs

Which one strikes most?

Here are 10 introspective questions for founders, CEOs, and high performers to reflect on stoicism, efficiency, and recovery in business:

  1. Am I making decisions based on logic or emotion right now?

  2. What is within my control today, and what is not?

  3. If I were an investor in my own company, would I approve of how I’m spending my time?

  4. Am I adding complexity where simplicity would be more effective?

  5. What’s the worst-case scenario I’m avoiding, and how would I handle it if it happened?

  6. If I’m not performing at my best, should I push through or enter recovery mode?

  7. Which tasks actually move the needle, and which ones just feel productive?

  8. How would my competitors outwork me if they had my exact resources?

  9. Have I been reacting to fires, or have I been thinking long-term?

  10. What would a founder 10X ahead of me do differently in my situation?

Bonus Thought: Your energy is your business’s energy. Are you optimizing your body and mind like you optimize your company’s operations?
