Business Acumen vs Leadership: Which One Drives Performance?

During my tenure as CEO at CS Energy, we took EBITDA from $17m to $441m: we more than doubled the company’s earnings for four consecutive years.

Along the way, I had to dig deep into two distinct toolkits: my business acumen, and my leadership capability.

When it comes to career advancement, there’s no substitute for building a strong track record of achievement. Performance is the undeniable resume builder. So, in the search for elite performance, what role does each capability play?

In this episode, I compare my Magnificent 7 areas of business acumen with the seven pillars of high-performance leadership from my WSJ bestselling book, No Bullsh!t Leadership, and I tell you how important I think each one is.
