CEO Planning Guide for 2026
Get a jump-start on your and your company's priorities for next year.
The CEO job comes with constant stress and demands on your time. The holidays don’t change that. If anything, they make it harder.
Everyone else is winding down while you’re still carrying the full weight of the business, trying to close out the year and figure out what 2026 should look like.
Many CEOs wait until January to start thinking about next year’s priorities. But by then, it’s easy to fall into the reactive / catch-up / Whack-a-Mole mode.
I’ve put together a 2026 CEO Planning Guide to help you get ahead of it. Work through it now, before year-end chaos truly hits, and you’ll have the clarity and peace of mind that come with good planning before the New Year is here.
The guide walks you through five critical areas:
Looking back at 2025 to learn what worked (and what didn’t)
Setting clear company priorities for Q1
Getting your entire team working on the right things
Planning your talent needs
Identifying where you need to grow as a leader
