Lior Arussy, CEO, Strativity

Organizations and executives crave predictability and consistency. Bearing the burden of accountability to stockholders and stakeholders, CEOs seek complete visibility to their companies’ operation, performance, and results. This obsession with consistency and predictability is what often keeps organizations from adapting more quickly to the changing environments in the market and to evolving customers’ tastes. In search of the perfect, well-planned strategy, CEOs delay execution and arrive at the finish line (if there ever is one) with a less than relevant performance at best.

On February 5, 2018, I became one of a small number of people from around the globe to complete the World Marathon Challenge — seven marathons, in seven days, on all seven continents.

It was a grueling experience, but I was successful because I applied several lessons I’ve learned since transforming myself into an endurance athlete seven years ago after feeling unhealthy and overweight. While I am a pretty fair athlete now, I don’t win races. I am just a regular guy who decided to get in shape and do something extraordinary for a cause I believe in.
