Nick interviews Trey Taylor, author of the book "A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite." Trey shares his personal journey of unexpectedly taking over his family's multi-generational financial business and the challenges he faced in learning the role of a CEO. He emphasises the importance of culture, people, and numbers in the CEO's job and how these three areas are interconnected. Trey discusses the significance of articulating and ritualising company values, sharing stories that exemplify those values, and creating a strong culture. He also highlights the role of the CEO in setting the agenda for the organisation and the importance of aligning the culture as the business scales. KEY TAKEAWAYS The CEO's job is the most lonely job in the organisation, as they don't have peers and must make decisions that chart the course of the company. Vision is important, but it is more tactical than the three core areas of culture, people, and numbers that a CEO must focus on. Culture is crucial and should be articulated through values and behaviors. Ritualizing these values helps embed them into the organization. People are a key aspect of a CEO's role, from hiring the right individuals to ensuring they are supported and aligned with the company's values. Numbers are also important, and while the CFO may handle the execution, the CEO sets the agenda and ensures alignment with the company's goals. BEST MOMENTS "The CEO's job is the most lonely job in the organisation. That's the joy and the hurt of it." "Vision is a lot more tactical than these three things are." "Culture trumps everything." "The reason you start a company is because something isn't true in the world and you want to be the one to make it true." "Job performance is not results, performance, none of those things are. Culture performance is what is going to keep you on the path."

Executive leaders always want clarity in determining their next impactful action and to focus their efforts on improving the quality of their decisions going forward.However, many in the higher leadership tier find themselves doing too much and don't know which aspects of the organization to focus on and how to do it. That's why I've invited Trey Taylor, author of ‘A CEO Only Does Three Things' to share how he has helped leaders find their focus in the C-Suite. Trey unpacked the following points for us:- Why it's important for CEOs to focus on only three things: Culture, People, and Numbers- How to say no to the urgently unimportant- Why striving to focus on the three things (even when you sometimes fail) is an act of excellenceTrey Taylor has created a strategic guide to help executives achieve their business goals.

Trey is CEO of Taylor Insurance Services & Managing Director of Trinity | Blue. His experience derives from fields as diverse as technology, venture capital, & commercial real estate. As a keynote speaker, he has addressed attendees at the Human Capital Institute, & the Ascend Conference. He holds a Bachelors degree in History from Emory University, & a Juris Doctor degree in Tax & Corporate Transactions from Tulane. He recently published his first book: A CEO Only Does 3 Things. Top 3 Takeaways Leaders Live in 3D—Trey has a view that leaders are comprised of intellectual, emotional, and identity dimensions. The three are highly connected, and it's key to understand these both in ourselves and in our people. The essentials are key—Three things matter most for a CEO: culture, people, and the numbers. Ensure that these are solid before you move on to other matters. Learn to delegate—Your ability to scale your business and to experience real joy in your life relies on your ability to delegate effectively. Make it a point to get good at giving your work and accountability to your team. From the Source “You can't manage someone until you manage yourself, and you can't manage yourself until you understand yourself.“ “You have to understand: how do you intellectually respond to challenges, how do you emotionally respond to challenges, and where do those two things come from? They come from an identity that you hold.“ “Every organization has a culture whether you intend to have one or not.“ “If we fix the culture and we get the right people in the door then the numbers are proof that the first two things are in alignment.“ “The burnout that [clients] are feeling is a direct result of the unwillingness to let go of both ends of the stick.” “Your team is not an extension of yourself. Your team is an extension of the mission of the company.” “If you want to grow the business, grow your people, and feel a lot more joy come into your life, delegation is the first thing.“ “If you can't delegate to someone, you either have the wrong heart or the wrong team. And one of those has to change.“ Connect with Trey Book Website: http://www.aceoonlydoesthreethings.com Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/CEO-Only-Does-Three-Things/dp/B09HMYRD78/ Newsletter: http://www.plantyourflag.live Trinity Blue Consulting: https://trinity-blue.com/ Personal Website: http://www.trey-taylor.com Links “(Wall) Street Smarts”: https://www.top-business-degrees.net/30-greatest-living-geniuses-in-business/

In this episode of Aww Shift Podcast, we have invited Trey Taylor, CEO of Taylor Insurance Services, Managing Director of trinity | blue, Consulting & Founding Partner of Ascend Partners, Keynote Speaker, and Author of the book “A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite.” Trey believes that most CEO focuses only on leadership—but he says otherwise. Today, Trey talks about the three things CEOs of the modern world should focus on to succeed in their business and life endeavors. [04:34] Why should we listen to you? You will listen to me because I will ask your questions to find out who you are. I believe that we are all created in three different dimensions – intellectual, emotional, and identity “I AM” dimensions. Those three dimensions are the things I will dissect to see what's within you. [14:38] 1st Focus: Culture Culture is the ethical environment in which you live, work, and play. The amalgamation of agreements between you and your employees makes in governing your interactions with each other. Culture is the values that you share and express with the people. [17:41] Everyone has a culture, whether intentional or not. Most CEOs have their eyebrows raised when I talk to them about this. And often, they would realize how culture is an important factor in their businesses. [18:50] 2nd Focus: People How do you find the right people, get them on board, and keep them? Sometimes, having the right culture means having a different slate of people, and it becomes a really hard thing for CEOs to do. Ensure that you have a robust recruitment and retention process to keep the right people at your grasp. [22:34] 3rd Focus: Numbers The job of the CEO is to set the agenda. Ensure what you are tracking and achieving according to the things you are important in the business, achieving them with the right people, and being transparent with them. [26:50] What promise did God make to the world when He created you? I have a purpose statement of helping people see the greatness of them and live with it together with their families. Key Quotes: [06:29 – 06:39] “Our job as a listen is not to make people feel heard. That is only the byproduct. What we do is having the active work of understanding them as a person and how they fit in the universe.” [19:09 – 19:14] “Sometimes, there's people in your life that maybe you didn't seek out but they are there anyway.” Learn more about Trey Taylor: Website: Executive Coaching | – TRINITY BLUE (trinity-blue.com) LinkedIn: Trey Taylor, J.D. | LinkedIn Twitter: Trey Taylor (@TreyTaylorCEO) / Twitter Facebook: Trey Taylor - Home | Facebook Instagram: Trey Taylor (@ceotreytaylor) • Instagram photos and videos Buy his book on Amazon: Amazon.com: A CEO Only Does Three Things: Finding Your Focus in the C-Suite eBook: Taylor, Trey: Kindle Store
