Less of a “numbers-only CEO.”
The CEO as Chief Energy Officer
The CEO of 2030–2035 is no longer just a Chief Executive Officer managing reports and processes.
He is a Chief Energy Officer – a leader of energy.
He doesn’t see himself as a task manager, but as the emotional and mental fuel source of the entire organization.
He knows: if people’s energy is down, even the smartest strategy will crash.
So every day he wakes up with one question: “How do I ignite my people’s passion?”
- He measures energy like KPIs: not just profit & loss, but motivation, resilience, sense of mission.
- In crises – he’s the first to show resilience.
- When employees tire – he reminds them not only what to do, but why it matters.
The Chief Energy Officer believes energy produces results – not the other way around.
- First, people are fueled → then comes innovation → then the numbers.
- Every employee deserves moments of reflection and quiet.
- He cultivates a culture of mutual ignition – employees inspire managers, and managers inspire employees.
How he drives the organization:
- Not just with a financial dashboard, but with an energy dashboard – who’s thriving, who’s burning out, where to reignite.
- He’s close to the field, part of daily conversations.
- He designs an environment of courage, legitimacy to try, fail, and renew.
- This CEO is the keeper of the flame.
Two Types of CEOs – Money & Infrastructure vs. People & Awareness
- The Money–Infrastructure–Targets CEO
- Classic CEO, measured by the bottom line.
- Mindset: numbers – revenues, expenses, profit margins, quarterly goals.
- Focus on infrastructure: systems, processes, efficiency.
- Manages like an engineer managing a giant machine.
- Strengths: sharp management, data control, structured planning.
- Weaknesses: employees may feel like cogs in a machine; less focus on meaning, emotions, creativity.
- The People–Awareness–Development CEO
- Different CEO, focused on employees’ energy, resilience, awareness.
- Sees employees not just as workers, but as thinking, creating, evolving humans.
- Focuses on culture: how people feel, how engaged they are, whether they develop and think freely.
- Acts as a motivational coach.
- Strengths: builds engagement, sparks bottom-up innovation, strengthens resilience.
- Weaknesses: sometimes less tough on numbers, less focus on cold targets, could be seen as lacking financial control.
Reality: not black & white.
- Old era → leaned towards the first type.
- AI era → gradually shifting to the second, since machines handle most of the “cold” work of numbers & processes.
Successful CEO 2030–2035 = Hybrid
Both a master of data and a coach of people.
CEO as Chief Awareness Officer (CAO)
The CEO as CAO is an architect of a new type of worker: the thinking worker.
- In a world where robots & AI handle physical/technical work,
- True value lies in the observing, analyzing, inventing worker.
The CAO knows his challenge is not just productivity – but developing employees who think better.
He builds a culture where each employee has time & space for pause, analysis, and new questions.
Not “how do I finish the task,” but “how do I invent a smarter, sharper way?”
Instead of robotic autopilot workers, the CAO develops a generation of daily learners.
- They spot patterns, identify turning points, choose differently.
- They don’t just fill checklists – they create them.
- They don’t just react – they research, understand, and propose solutions.
Thus the organization becomes a factory of awareness, thinking, and innovation – not just task execution.
The CEO, as CAO, becomes not just a manager of results, but a lighthouse producing thinking employees – the most important capital in the AI era.
CEO Stories – For Employees!
The hospitalized girl
Imagine an 8-year-old girl hospitalized for months. Doctors unsure, parents exhausted. Thanks to our system, decisions are faster, more accurate. She’s back at school in 2 weeks. Every time you open your computer and run code – remember: it’s not just a product. It’s her. It’s life.
The bus driver in the heat
A 55-year-old driver, waking at 4am, aching back, summer heat. Using our service, he feels secure, backed up, safe. He comes home with fewer worries. You’re not just writing software – you’re lifting a heavy stone off someone’s heart.
The small client who grew
A tiny family business, 4 workers, ignored by most. With our product they grew 10x, now 100 employees. When he came to thank us, he hugged me – not for features, but for changing his life. Remember – every button you improve could fuel someone’s dream.
The mistake that didn’t happen
One night, a client nearly collapsed from human error. Our system stopped it in time – saving millions, jobs, families. Sometimes you’ll never know what you prevented. But we are their line of defense.

Employee Stories – For the CEO!
The notebook on the desk
I put a small notebook by my computer. Each morning, 15 minutes of thoughts before work. Instead of just rushing emails, I improved a process. Within a month – a small idea saved 200,000 shekels.
The meeting that felt different
I entered a team meeting with 3 points I’d written in those 15 minutes. For the first time my manager said: “Great idea.” I felt I wasn’t reactive – I added true value.
From firefighting to creating
I used to be a firefighter – always putting out fires. Now, with 15 minutes of thinking, I catch problems before they happen, and create projects. It’s like I shifted from firefighter to solution creator.
Inner strength
For years I feared speaking in front of leadership. In those 15 minutes, I wrote courage sentences. Last time, I spoke clearly. CEO, you yourself smiled and said “Well done.” I grew that day.
The difference at home
The 15 minutes aren’t just at work – at home I’m calmer, clearer. My daughter said: “Dad, you’re happier lately.” That’s the strongest proof – it improves not just numbers, but people.
The look at numbers
I used to ignore reports – just dry tables. Now, every morning I study one figure. I spotted a small anomaly before it grew big. My manager said: “That’s gold.” I felt like a true guardian of the org.
The small invention
One late night I almost skipped my 15 minutes. But I forced myself. A tiny technical idea popped up, saving the team 20 minutes daily. That’s the difference – small inventions, big impact.
The contract with myself
I used to give up on myself – procrastination, apathy. But with 15 minutes, I wrote: “What’s the one thing I won’t give up today?” By day’s end I checked. After a month, I kept my word. It gave me strength, responsibility, energy.
