I am currently reading Steven Bartlett’s new book The Diary Of A CEO: The 33 Laws Of Business And Life. It is outstanding and one of the best leadership books I have read in some time.
Bartlett is an entrepreneur, speaker, investor, and host of the incredibly popular The Diary Of A CEO podcast. He has been named one of Forbe’s 30 Under 30. From countless conversations with some of the world’s most successful leaders, scientific research, and his own leadership experience, Bartlett has chronicled his life’s lessons in this new book.

The following are Bartlett’s 33 Laws. If some of these seem counter-intuitive, I understand but purchase the book which unpacks each of these in greater detail.

- You do not get to choose what you believe
- You must lean in to bizarre behavior
- Ask, don’t tell – the question/behavior effect
- Never compromise your self-story
- Never fight a bad habit
- Always prioritize your first foundation
- Useless absurdity will define you more than useful practicalities
- Avoid wallpaper at all costs
- You must piss people off
- Shoot your psychological moonshots first
- Friction can create value
- The frame matters more than the picture
- Use Goldilocks to your advantage
- Let them try and they will buy
- Fight for the first five seconds
- You must sweat the small stuff
- A small miss now creates a big miss later
- You must out-fail the competition
- You must become a Plan-A thinker
- Don’t be an ostrich
