39. What do tech CEOs actually do?

Learning notes: The tech CEO's job is to work with other people who have different skills to reach a clear business aim. It is not to supervise everything or do everything themselves.  You can use technology and data to answer all sorts of business questions, such as: Where shall we drill for oil? Should we make more lipstick?  How should we price our product?  Who are our most profitable customers?  In all of these questions, the aim is to make the business better, not to build tech tools for the sake of it. In a tech business or a tech product you do not need to have a clear plan for exactly which features to build or what tools to use. This will become clear as you take steps to reach your aim and get user feedback.   If you're loving what you're learning on the podcast, then come  join us in the Tech for Non-Techies membership community.
