Progressive CEO Manifesto
The Progressive CEO boosts progress through business
Preamble
We back Progressive CEOs: leaders who strengthen themselves and shape the future of their companies. Boom exists to strengthen CEO Performance when the stakes are high—so progress can move through business.
The Progressive CEO
The Progressive CEO is an entrepreneurial leader fit for today’s business landscape. Progressive is an aspirational, self-selected direction—not a scorecard or political label.
- EVOLVING — Strengthens and sustains themselves
- FUTURE-SHAPING — Has a strong vision for the company’s future and acts to make it real
- HIGH-TECH — Uses technology ambitiously and deliberately
- HIGH-TOUCH — Leads the way in attracting, strengthening and sustaining teams, clients and stakeholders
No CEO has it all. Use your strengths, develop what you can, and hire for the rest.
