Leadership isn’t a title — it’s trained behaviour

The CEO’s Journal of Modern Leadership

THE JOURNAL

The centre of gravity

Leadership is rarely lost through lack of intelligence. It is lost through noise, impatience, and untrained response.

This journal approaches leadership the way elite disciplines approach mastery — through structure, repetition, and reflection. The same principles that build champions on the mat build executives in the boardroom.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Authority without a biography dump

Dr Mihails Kuznecovs is a strategist and board-level advisor with more than two decades of experience across energy, infrastructure, consumer goods, and global brand licensing.

His work sits at the intersection of decision-making, power, and organisational reality — where strategy meets human behaviour.

PRINCIPLES

Where business meets precision

These principles reflect how decisions actually hold under pressure — when information is incomplete, incentives are misaligned, and authority must be exercised without theatrics.

They are not ideals. They are disciplines.

Decision-Making Under Constraint

Clarity does not emerge in comfort. It is trained in moments where time, information, and certainty are limited.

Authority Without Noise

Leadership presence is not volume. It is posture, consistency, and the ability to hold tension without reacting.

The Discipline of Long-Term Thinking

Most failures are not strategic — they are temporal. This journal explores how leaders protect long-term direction in short-term environments.

Personal Governance

Before leading others, leaders must govern themselves. Attention, energy, and standards are not abstract concepts — they are daily practices.
