Welcome—or welcome back—to The Thoughtful Executive.
Executives don’t run on ideas alone. They run on arcs.
When a thought leadership program is built one post at a time, it usually ends up as a long list of moments with no real sense of where any of it is going. The content might be good in isolation, but it doesn’t add up to a story.
Luckily, there’s already a proven format for this problem that you can copy.
It’s this little thing called television.
If you want an executive’s work to feel like it’s going somewhere, you have to stop treating it like an endless feed and start treating it like a TV season (or series, for our friends outside the United States).
