No, not you, the office CEO, the other one, who’s at home equally exhausted.
You show up late for dinner because the conference call with your investors in Silicon Valley went longer than scheduled.
You may have not remembered that there’s a CEO who runs the castle, the children, the staff, the dog, the equipment and the unforeseen events. There was a school board meeting today that also went on longer than scheduled.
The home CEO is your 50-50 partner. Your task is for you to accept reality if you are both to stay operational in your current positions. The fact is a successful office CEO always has a successful home CEO.
There are two reasons for this: first you can’t be successful at work if the castle is falling apart, and secondly, you have no idea how to manage the castle to begin with, starting with doing the laundry. Keep in mind that the home CEO knows you don’t have a clue where anything is in the castle except your tennis racket and the liquor cabinet.
