The Anchor Framework

Your team doesn’t need more meetings.

They need a CEO who knows what to do when
everything starts breaking at once.

That’s when teams don’t need more information.
They need anchors.

Clear priorities.
Decisive leadership.
A sense that someone still has the wheel.

I’ve worked with 100s of high-performing CEOs
across industries.

The ones who thrive in chaos aren’t
the loudest or smartest.

They’re the most anchored.

They follow habits like these:

🔹 Setting 1 non-negotiable priority every day.
This creates instant clarity.
If everything’s urgent, nothing is.

🔹 Opening every meeting with purpose.
Not “here’s the agenda.”
But “here’s why this matters to our mission.”

🔹 Blocking time for forward-looking work.
High-growth CEOs don’t just react.
They plan 6–12 months ahead while others
scramble to get through Friday.

🔹 Sharing the “why” behind decisions.
People don’t just want direction.
They want to trust how it’s made.

🔹 Starting team meetings with 2-minute wins.
Tiny shift. Huge morale booster.
It trains the org to focus on momentum,
not just problems.

I’ve put these habits (and more) into
a framework called A.N.C.H.O.R.

It helps you lead when the ground is shifting
(and still move fast).

A – Align Purpose
N – Name Metrics
C – Coach Managers
H – Harness Systems
O – Own Decisions
R – Recognize Wins

The uncomfortable truth?

Most teams aren’t underperforming.
They’re under-led.

And in a world moving this fast,
clarity isn’t optional.

It’s your competitive edge.

Lead with clarity.
Or lose to someone who will.
