A lumberjack came by and suggested he sharpen his axe. The man replied: "I don't have time. I have all these trees I have to cut down."

Many members in my two Vistage CEO groups feel that their company owns them even though they own the company. I've observed that there is definitely an adrenaline rush from being the "go to" person in their organization. As SAKU (Source of All Knowledge in the Universe), however, these CEO's come to realize that they are also a magnet for all of the trivia and drama of their organizations as well. As with most challenges, the first step is awareness. Finding great people who may even be better is some areas than oneself is next, and learning to delegate effectively follows. This challenge is especially difficult for CEO's who are more superstars than business leaders. Great thoughts, Rebecca.
