The Operating Layer Newsletter

Most writing about executive effectiveness is about mindset. This is about mechanism.

Every other Tuesday you get one piece of an executive's operating system taken apart: what reaches you, where your attention goes, how decisions clear, or what leaves your desk. Each issue covers how the thing actually works, the number that tells you where you stand, and one change small enough to install this week.

Each issue contains:

• The mechanism, explained properly rather than summarized

• One thing to measure, and exactly how to measure it

• One change you can make before Friday

• A short note from inside the job

Written by a working Chief of Staff, which is the role companies create when an executive's operating system has outgrown them. So the material comes from me personally doing it on a Monday and sharing the findings with you on a Tuesday.
