When describing the life of a CEO, ‘busy’ doesn’t cut it. Be they at the start of their business journey when every dollar counts, or helming a team of hundreds, a CEO is usually spread thinner than that precious last scrape of Nutella. Budgets, reports, legal issues, people management and operational issues make up the day, escalating as you grow. What you invest in personally becomes crucial to success and here are three things I’ve learnt not to skimp on along the way:

Most of my peers and I know about MBWA (management by walking around) from Tom Peters’ and Robert Waterman’s classic 1982 book, In Search of Excellence. Not too long ago, I learned the term originated at Hewlett-Packard in the 1970s, when Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard (who were insatiably curious, by the way) made it a practice to drop by employees’ workspaces to see what they were working on.

Any business leader understands that their results depend largely on a team of people and the quality of efforts made by those people.  The greatest leaders however, understand people’s inherent need to belong and leverage this insight into human behavior.  Think of sport teams, religions, and political parties. 

I know many companies feel that if you don't take care of your customer, somebody else will. At Micrel, the semiconductor company that I ran for 37 years, I told my employees that they were number one. One of my strongest beliefs is that if you don't take care of your employees, they are not going to take care of your customers. Authentic service is a cascading concept.

Who wouldn’t like to be more fulfilled?  If you’re not feeling totally fulfilled, you’re not alone.  Even if you are fulfilled, the odds are that many of your managers and employees are not, according to new study conducted by Metrus Institute.  In fact, few Millennials and only some Gen Xers describe their lives as fulfilled.
