info_outlineOne of the most common challenges CEOs find themselves in is trying to do everything themselves. They put in 80 hours a week, take on more than they actually have time for, and spend less and less of their energy on the high-level tasks that will actually drive their company forward.
That’s why recruiting and retaining a great team around you is crucial for any CEO – and it’s one thing that Terrane’s Kenny Green learned after years spent in that 80-100 hours/week grind. Like most in his position, there came a point where something had to give.
Kenny, a second-generation CEO for Terrane Land Surveying based in Bellevue, Washington, is the latest guest on the Measure Success podcast. In this episode, we talk more about the challenges associated with building that team, the inter-team communication structures he put in place as a leader, the importance of getting outside guidance when growing your company, the books that have changed his perspective in business, and more. Tune in!
Here's a Glimpse of What You’ll Learn:
- The silver lining Kenny and his company were able to find in the 2008 recession
- The one key action a CEO must take in order to grow a company past its “adolescence” stage
- Book recommendations from Kenny that have shifted how he’s approached his own company’s growth
- The importance of receiving coaching and not trying to chart your company’s path all alone
- Communication structures to put into place to make sure your team and leadership are aligned
- How Terrane measures success as a company
- How Kenny measures success in his own personal life, plus some of his daily habits that keep him balanced and energized
