Chief Executive Officer
This will not be the easiest site you have ever read. It is not about an easy subject.
Nowhere here will you find any statement to the effect that creative thinking — the active use of imagination — is an easy task.
Nor will you find any secret formulas or magic phrases that can produce million-dollar ideas for you.
In fact, if the writer occasionally makes a categorical statement that appears to be the answer, it was not intended that way. By its nature, creativity is infinite — there is always a better way and always a worse way.
Therefore, there are no real answers.
There are preferred ways, and apparently better ways. But not answers.
This was planned to do several things:
To help you develop an increased sensitivity to problems, needs, and opportunities in business.
To build your knowledge of problem-solving procedures, and the aids to thinking more creatively.
By removing some of the "mystery" that has always clouded the subject of creativity, to help you to gain self-confidence in applying principles and using techniques that have helped others.
To explain some of the background that is necessary to create the kind of "climate" that will encourage more creative kinds of thinking on the part of associates and subordinates.

While out for a run the other day, my mind wandered to the energy efficiency ratings associated with appliances and how we, too, utilize energy at different rates based on a variety of things. At the physical level, we burn energy constantly and can improve our efficiency through diet, exercise and weight control. We exert mental energy thinking, problem solving, brainstorming, worrying and more. We renew our spiritual energy through prayer, meditation or quiet time, reading, etc. It makes sense that we want to be as energy efficient as possible in order to function at our peak and feel our best.
Identifying your energizers and your energy robbers can help you improve your energy efficiency so that are stronger and feel your best. Begin by identifying energy leaks in your life. Are you losing energy to annoyances that are getting in the way of efficiency? It might be something like a messy desk or unorganized office, constant interruptions, tools that don't function properly, or a project you've been procrastinating about starting. Annoyances like these (which we refer to as tolerations in coaching) can be costly not only in the energy they consume, but also in the decreased productivity and efficiency that they cause.
Next, take a look at energy drains in your life? Drains are bigger than leaks. They cost you much more and leave you feeling tired, grumpy, frustrated or stuck. Perhaps you are working in an environment that is not conducive to your most creative efforts. Maybe you are continuously facing financial pressure from not having sufficient income to cover your outflow. Or, is there someone in your life sapping your energy - a co-worker, friend or family member?
Finally, look at the energizers in your life. What are your sources of inspiration and feeling fabulous? Is it time to make a change to eliminate energy leaks and drains and reconnect with your positive energy sources in order to re-energize and revitalize your life?
Tips for Increasing Your Energy Efficiency...
1. SLOW DOWN. Give yourself permission to throttle back on the pace of your activities. Stretching yourself to meet demands on your time, energy, emotions and finances can leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Give yourself a break and let go of commitments and obligations that are robbing time and energy. Ask yourself: What will I do today to slow my pace?
2. TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF. Build time into your schedule to get quiet and relax. Unless you are intentional about setting aside time for yourself, it will be difficult to find the time. We all have the same 24 hours each day, we cannot manufacture more time. However, we can include ourselves in the schedule and set aside at least 5 minutes a day to relax and rejuvenate. Ask yourself: What step will I take today to create time for myself?
3. HAVE A MEDICAL CHECKUP. If you continuously feel tired or drained, perhaps there is a physical reason behind it. Having an annual exam can help you stay on top of health issues and give you peace of mind about your health. Ask yourself: Is it time for a medical checkup? When will I schedule an appointment?
4. BECOME MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT. We can easily become caught up in striving for success and struggling to meet demands on our time and energy. Most of us exert too much effort to create results. Then we wonder why we are tired, never have enough time and don't have the life we truly want. Why not make it a top priority to become energy efficient? Let go of pushing yourself. Ask yourself: What will I do this week to become more energy efficient?
And what is a man without energy? Nothing - nothing at all. Mark Twain

Many executives have inherited or stumbled into their walnut-paneled offices.
Some hold their jobs because they have developed one specialization, but their hold is precarious because of their unwillingness to broaden their horizons of understanding.
Someone has said that "experience is the great teacher, but education is the short cut to avoid the wasteful process of trial and error learning."
You too could probably learn to become a senior executive by experience, but it is our hope that you may shorten your development time through some of the principles outlined here.
Experience is excellent—but it is also the name everyone gives to his mistakes.

Executive Officer is the prized position desired by many in business.
