Even experienced executives fall into these traps. Learn to recognize and avoid them.
Solution:
Start with the "why" and "what," then only go to "how" if asked. Show you can zoom out.
Example:
Instead of: "I would set up weekly standups and use Jira..." Say: "I would establish clear strategic priorities and accountability frameworks..."
Solution:
Own your impact while acknowledging your team. "I built a team that delivered..." is good. "The team did it" without your role is weak.
Example:
Instead of: "The team increased revenue..." Say: "Under my leadership, we grew revenue 3x by..."
Solution:
Research the company deeply. Understand the CEO's priorities, recent press, and strategic initiatives. Align your language and examples.
Example:
Reference specific company initiatives: "I noticed your recent focus on international expansion. In my last role, I led our EMEA entry..."
Solution:
Ask about strategic challenges, board dynamics, and growth priorities. Show you're already thinking like an insider.
Example:
Instead of: "What's the company culture like?" Say: "How is the board thinking about the balance between profitability and growth investment?"
