CEOs Must Ask Better Questions to Innovate

Great CEOs don’t just run companies; they challenge the status quo. The ability to ask the right questions—again and again—is what separates leaders who drive real change from those who simply manage operations.

Why Better Questions Lead to Better Innovation

Many CEOs rely on their R&D teams to handle innovation. While delegation is crucial, true leadership requires direct involvement. Asking deeper, more insightful questions helps uncover the real obstacles preventing progress. Instead of stopping at surface-level issues, great leaders dig deeper to understand the root cause of challenges.

Steve Jobs was a master of this. Instead of waiting for engineers to fix a problem, he worked directly with them—questioning, challenging, and refining ideas until they reached a breakthrough. This hands-on approach allowed him to elevate problems to a company-wide level and turn obstacles into innovation.

How to Ask Better Questions as a CEO

1. Go Beyond the Obvious – Instead of asking “Why isn’t this working?” ask “What’s the underlying reason for this challenge?”

2. Engage with Your Team – Talk directly to the individuals working on the problem, not just department heads.

3. Challenge Assumptions – What if the biggest obstacle isn’t what you think it is? Keep digging deeper.

The Call to Action

Innovation isn’t just about new ideas—it’s about asking the right questions to uncover game-changing solutions. Are you leading with curiosity, or are you outsourcing the most important part of problem-solving?

Listen to today’s The Daily Hint and start asking the questions that drive real innovation.

Great CEOs Don’t Just Lead Companies; They Cultivate Communities That Drive Their Vision Forward

Being a CEO is more than making strategic decisions and leading teams. The most impactful leaders understand that true success comes from building communities—not just companies.

Why Community Matters for CEOs

The corporate world can be isolating at the top. Many CEOs operate within their executive teams, making critical business decisions in a vacuum. But what if leadership wasn’t just about guiding a company? What if it was about cultivating a thriving ecosystem that supports both business growth and societal impact?

A strong CEO-driven community fosters:

✔ Collaboration & Learning – Engaging with like-minded leaders accelerates growth and innovation.

✔ Mutual Support – Business is tough; having a trusted network helps navigate challenges.

✔ Impact Beyond Business – A community isn’t just for corporate success; it can drive meaningful change in society.

Blending Business & Personal Growth

The best communities integrate both business strategy and personal development. CEOs who actively participate in or create such communities build lasting relationships that go beyond boardrooms and financial reports. When a leader fosters an environment of shared learning and support, the ripple effect is enormous—leading to transformative impact.

The Call to Action

Are you just leading a company, or are you building a movement? Thoughtful, engaged communities are a powerful tool for success. How can you, as a CEO, start cultivating a community that drives your vision forward?

Every CEO Should Be Visible as a Human

The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland

Being a CEO is more than just holding a title—it's about leadingpeople. Leadership isn’t only about decision-making and delivering results. It’s about presence, authenticity, and visibility. Yet, many CEOs shy away from the very thing that can elevate their impact: showing up as a human.

Why Visibility Matters More Than Ever

The role of a CEO has evolved. While strategy, operations, and financial performance remain critical, so does the ability to connect. The modern workforce and stakeholders expect leaders to be more than just corporate figures—they expect authenticity, engagement, and accessibility.

But many CEOs struggle with this. Whether it's discomfort with video content, reluctance to share personal insights, or a belief that "running a company" is the sole focus, they miss a key opportunity. In 2025 and beyond, CEOs who embrace visibility will stand out, drive deeper connections, and strengthen their organization's credibility.

Stepping Up as a Leader

Leadership today is aboutdelivering results AND showing up. Employees and shareholders look to the CEO for direction, but also for inspiration. People don’t just follow strategies; they followleaders. If you’re in a leadership position, you’ve signed up for more than board meetings and quarterly reports—you’ve signed up to be seen.

How CEOs Can Embrace Visibility

1. Acknowledge Your Influence – You are an asset not just because of your title, but because ofwho you are. Your insights and experiences matter.
2. Use Video & Digital Channels – Whether it’s sharing perspectives on LinkedIn, participating in podcasts, or making short-form content, visibility is non-negotiable.
3. Embrace Authenticity – Perfection isn’t required. Being genuine, real, and relatable builds trust with both employees and external audiences.
4. Make It a Habit – Consistency matters. A one-time post won’t transform your leadership presence, but an ongoing effort will.

Many people dismiss short-form podcasts, calling them ineffective or even “stupid.” But in 2024, I decided to challenge that thinking. Instead of following the usual long-form approach, I recorded a 60-second podcast episode every single day. The result? A powerful innovation engine that transformed how I create, engage, and grow.

The Power of Testing and Iteration

Short-form episodes may seem insignificant, but they serve as rapid experimentation tools. By publishing daily, I was able to test different themes, analyze listener responses, and identify what resonated the most. This process of continuous testing enabled me to refine content ideas before committing to long-form episodes.

From Daily Insights to Business Growth

The insights gained from these daily soundbites weren’t just theoretical—they became the foundation for a scalable content strategy. Short-form content fed into longer, more in-depth episodes, which in turn fueled business opportunities and strengthened authority in my industry.

A Simple Yet Effective Innovation Model

This daily podcast wasn’t just about consistency; it was about strategically leveraging content to innovate. Instead of dismissing short-form podcasts, consider how you can use them to experiment, engage, and ultimately grow your influence. Innovation isn’t about following trends—it’s about finding smarter ways to create impact.

Want to rethink your content strategy? Tune into today’s episode of The Daily Hint with Jens Heitland and discover how you can apply this model to your own journey.

Innovation is often seen as a game of big ideas and bold strategies, but true innovation comes from something much simpler deep, meaningful connections. In today’s episode of The Daily Hint, we explore how leaders, CEOs, and professionals can break free from the surface-level approach and truly innovate by engaging with the right people in the right way.

Many executives focus only on their internal teams, missing a crucial perspective their end customers. In a B2B environment, this often means speaking to decision-makers rather than those who actually use the product or service. But real insights come from those who experience the challenges firsthand. Taking the time to connect at this level can lead to industry-changing ideas.

Too often, leaders get caught up in managing their businesses and overlook the value of firsthand interactions. But innovation thrives on iteration, learning, and deep engagement with real people. Sometimes, a single authentic conversation can spark an idea that reshapes an entire industry.

The challenge? Making this a daily practice. True innovation isn’t about occasional breakthroughs it’s about consistently going beyond the obvious, beyond the boardroom, and into the real world.

Tune into this episode to discover how you can start thinking and exploring beyond the ordinary to drive meaningful innovation in your career and business.

Discipline Creates Behavior and Behavior Creates Discipline

Discipline isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we explore how behavior and discipline are interconnected and how one fuels the other. The secret? The more we do something, the better we become at it. But what happens on the days when we don’t feel like showing up?

The key is to never let a gap extend beyond one missed attempt. Skipping one day is fine, but skipping two breaks momentum. This simple mindset shift can transform how you approach discipline, whether in your career, personal brand, leadership, or any area of self-improvement.

By reinforcing behavior through action, discipline becomes second nature. It's about overcoming resistance, pushing forward, and trusting that consistency leads to mastery.

If you're looking for a practical approach to staying on track even when motivation fades, this episode is for you. Listen in and take one small step toward greater discipline today.

The Power of Mental Models in Thought Leadership

Successful thought leaders have one thing in common they know how to make complex ideas simple and actionable. They don’t just share knowledge; they structure it in a way that others can easily grasp and apply. That’s where mental models come in.

In today’s episode of The Daily Hint, we explore how leveraging mental models can shape and elevate your thought leadership. One powerful example is the Personal Branding Model, which highlights the balance between credibility and visibility. Many experts have deep knowledge but struggle with recognition. This model suggests that if your credibility is high but your visibility is low, you need to bring the two into alignment.

Mental models aren’t just frameworks; they are essential tools for making your insights clear, memorable, and impactful. As a thought leader, the question is: What mental models do you use to simplify and communicate your expertise?

Every CEO Should Speak on Stage—and That Monthly

A CEO’s role goes far beyond running the day-to-day operations of a business. Two of the most critical responsibilities are representing the organization externally and nurturing its people internally. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we focus on the first role and explore why speaking on stage monthly is essential for every CEO.

Main Takeaways:

1. Representation Through Public Speaking

Public speaking is one of the most powerful ways for CEOs to build the credibility of their business while also showcasing their personal expertise. Speaking at events, conferences, and industry forums exposes your business to potential clients, collaborators, and industry peers.

2. The Value of Consistency

A single speaking engagement can be impactful, but making it a monthly habit ensures ongoing visibility and influence. Consistency helps position you as a thought leader and keeps your business top-of-mind in your industry.

3. The Need for a Speaking Funnel

Every CEO should have a system to secure speaking opportunities. This includes having a personal website with a dedicated speaking page, detailing your expertise, topics you cover, and previous engagements. This makes it easy for PR and marketing teams to promote you and book you for events.

4. Why This Matters for Business Growth

When a CEO takes the stage, it doesn’t just reflect on them—it elevates the entire organization. Public speaking creates opportunities to connect with potential clients, build strategic partnerships, and reinforce your company’s reputation in the marketplace.

Speaking on stage monthly isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a strategic priority for CEOs looking to grow their business and expand their influence. If you don’t yet have a speaking funnel in place, it’s time to create one. Tune in to this episode of The Daily Hint to learn how to get started and why this strategy can transform your leadership journey.

CEOs Should Utilize AI to Be Omnipresent

In an age where AI and digital platforms dominate how information is consumed, staying visible isn’t optional for CEOs—it’s essential. Omnipresence, or being discoverable across various platforms and contexts, is the key to establishing a strong personal brand and leadership presence. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we explore how CEOs can strategically use AI to amplify their visibility and influence.

Main Takeaways:

1. What Does Omnipresence Mean for CEOs?

Omnipresence is about being present and discoverable wherever your audience is. For CEOs, this means showing up on social media, having a personal website, and ensuring your content is accessible across platforms to meet your audience where they are.

2. The Role of AI in Visibility

AI algorithms like ChatGPT and Google play a significant role in how people find and consume information. By creating high-quality, relevant content and hosting it on a personal website, CEOs can ensure their expertise is recognized and indexed by these systems. This boosts not only visibility but also credibility.

3. Why Personal Branding Matters

A strong personal brand is no longer optional. Today’s consumers want to connect with the individual behind the business. Being visible in public forums, on social media, and through owned digital spaces creates opportunities for engagement and trust.

4. Strategic Steps to Build Omnipresence

• Be Active on Social Media: Tailor content to each platform to connect with different audiences in their preferred formats.

• Own Your Digital Space: Create and maintain a personal website as a central hub for your content.

• Leverage AI Tools: Use AI to analyze trends, automate repetitive tasks, and expand your reach efficiently.

AI is transforming how leaders connect with their audiences. By embracing omnipresence and leveraging digital tools, CEOs can establish a powerful personal brand and ensure they remain visible in an increasingly competitive digital world. Tune in to this episode of The Daily Hint to learn how to strategically position yourself for long-term success.

When I Innovate Myself Today, I Create Impact Tomorrow

Innovation often feels like a concept reserved for companies or groundbreaking products. But in reality, true innovation begins with individuals—challenging the status quo and looking for ways to grow personally and professionally. This episode of The Daily Hint delves into how personal innovation today creates the foundation for long-term impact.

Main Takeaways:

1. The Power of Self-Innovation

Personal innovation is about more than adopting new habits—it’s about challenging yourself to think differently and solve problems in fresh ways. The choices you make today, whether it’s learning a new skill or rethinking your approach to challenges, set the stage for future success.

2. Why Innovation Begins Now

We often rely on past experiences to guide our decisions. While this can be helpful, it can also create mental blocks that prevent us from trying new ideas. Stepping out of this comfort zone is the first step toward meaningful change.

3. A 15-Year Perspective

Drawing from years of experience in innovation, one clear takeaway emerges: small, consistent efforts to innovate today lead to significant results tomorrow. Whether it’s creating content, solving problems, or helping others succeed, these actions compound over time.

4. Innovation as a Lifelong Mindset

Personal innovation isn’t a one-time event; it’s an ongoing mindset. By continually asking, “What can I do differently?” or “How can I add value?”, you not only grow but also create a ripple effect of positive change in your professional and personal life.

Tomorrow’s impact is built on today’s decisions. By embracing personal innovation, you pave the way for sustained success and growth. Tune in to this episode of The Daily Hint to discover how to make innovation a part of your daily mindset and unlock your potential for long-term impact.
