In my experience, top CEOs focus more on people than anything else: They ask the tough questions and take bold action no matter how tough the call is. Ask yourself this.

• Do you believe this team has what it take to take you where you want to be in one, three, five years.

• Are the team members sufficiently able, and in the right roles?

• Would you re hire each of your employees enthusiastically if they applied today for a role?

If the answer to the above is not a resounding yes, you have a problem.

And you need to take action. Fast.

A great business is not a dream built on wishful thinking. It’s built on reality and relentless execution—and it all begins s with having the right people in the right seats for the next chapter in the company's growth. What got you here may not get you there.

One of the hardest lessons I help CEOs with is making them very aware that waiting to make a tough call about peole does more harm than good. Every month you delay is a month of lost momentum, lost opportunity, increased toxicity and lost growth.

When your gut tells you a fit is not right, take action and don't delay.

If you’re questioning whether someone belongs on your team, there is your answer. You know deep down they have to go.

The best leaders act fast and create space for the talent that will drive the company forward.

Don't get caught out. Drive change and follow the insticts that made you win in the first place.
