Joel Trammell is the founder and CEO of American CEO and Khorus Systems, a business management system that empowers CEOs to lead high performance organizations, and the owner of Texas CEO Magazine, which reaches more than 10,000 CEOs across the state. A successful entrepreneur and CEO with 30 years of experience, Joel is a pioneer in CEO education. After decades as a CEO – a field in which the average shelf life is only five years – Joel identified a pervasive problem: many of his fellow business leaders seriously lacked the fundamental tools and education to make their companies genuinely great. He launched The American CEO to provide the support and guidance his peers lacked. He also wrote a book titled The CEO Tightrope, a comprehensive guide featuring proven techniques and approaches for overcoming the unique challenges of being a CEO. Episode in a Tweet: Being a CEO is demanding and there's no one way to do it well, but the best CEOs embody the three Cs: credibility, competence, and caring. If you have the three Cs, you're far more likely to succeed in the CEO role. Background: Joel Trammell is on a mission to teach new and current CEOs what almost no one else is teaching: how to successfully perform the CEO job. Most people enter the CEO job with lots of knowledge and experience in certain aspects of business but no specific training for the CEO role. I understand this well. As a new and young CEO, I made many mistakes, like deciding by trial and error, changing direction too often, and letting underperformers stay too long. I had to learn how to be a CEO by being a CEO. American CEO's mission is to prevent the issues I experienced all those years ago through a professional, systematic approach to the CEO role. And that's what Joel and I talk about during this week's episode of Reflect Forward. Joel shares how the CEO role is different from other leadership roles. He says (and I agree) that people think of the CEO as just one step up from other executive jobs. However, the CEO job is a difference of kind, not of degree. It comes with a very different set of responsibilities and challenges. If you want to be a CEO or simply understand the CEO role better, you'll gain so much insight from this interview with Joel.

In this episode… A CEO wears many hats. They communicate with management, the board, and the general public while serving as the company's face to internal and external stakeholders. They are in charge of implementing the organization's long-term plan and fostering brand values within the workforce. What does it take to be a successful CEO? Is it enough to be a strong leader with years of experience and expertise? What abilities and traits should you have to help you succeed under pressure?  According to Joel Trammell, CEOs are in the people business as much as they are in the marketing and sales business. As a CEO, you should have a good people management system in place. You must also deeply understand how your product is made and why it's bought. In this episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jim Schleckser continues his conversation with Joel Trammell, the Founder of Texas CEO Magazine and the Co-founder of American CEO. They talk about what makes a good business and a bad business, the characteristics a CEO must have, and the most common issues CEOs usually face.

Joel Trammell is the Founder of the Texas CEO Magazine and the Co-founder of American CEO, a company that provides educational resources for chief executive officers. He is a successful entrepreneur who has founded four businesses and served as CEO of seven others – from start-ups to public firms valued at $1 billion.

He has served on the boards of public, private, and nonprofit organizations and is now on a mission to teach aspiring and established CEOs how to effectively carry out their position. In this episode… CEOs face difficult situations and must make tough decisions. They are frequently caught between employees, shareholders, and clients who have very different interests, wants, and needs. Given the lens of these various parties, how does a CEO maintain balance and fairness in determining which one has supremacy? Joel Trammell says that a good CEO should be able to effectively identify and manage the two triangles of tension in every business. The first triangle is the external tension – the wants and needs of employees, customers, and shareholders. The second triangle represents the internal tension between the sales group, product group, and marketing group. The role of a CEO is managing the white space, communication, and coordination of those six fundamental areas simultaneously. In this episode of The Lazy CEO Podcast, Jim Schleckser sits down with Joel Trammell, the Founder of Texas CEO Magazine and the Co-founder of American CEO. They talk about the challenges CEOs face everyday when making crucial decisions for their businesses. Joel also talks about what being an executive means and why hiring should be a continuous process when building a successful company.

I think assuming that an entrepreneurial journey is going to be easy and everything is going to go right will leave you set up for failure. So, understand it is a journey, it's a marathon, it's a long run, it's not easy, there are going to be many times when you feel like you are facing a brick wall and you've got to figure out a way around, up, over, under that brick wall.
