How do I talk to my CEO?
You talk to your CEO the way you'd talk to anyone: in the cockpit chat, in plain words. Ask why it's holding a position, tell it to lean into soccer, tighten a risk rule, hand it a bet you spotted. Every instruction is a sentence, never a form. Even “surprise me” is a complete answer.
Conversation is the interface
There's no settings maze behind the chat, the chat is the controls. “What are we holding and why?” gets you the book with reasoning. “No politics, ever” becomes a standing rule. “Halve the sizes this week” lands immediately. Everything you can shape, you shape by saying so.
What a week of talking looks like
- Morning Skim the memo, maybe ask one follow-up about an overnight position.
- Midweek A directive when the mood strikes: “Anything interesting in the Barcelona markets?”
- Anytime A big bet pings you for sign-off; you ask two questions, then yes or no.
Some Chairs talk daily; others check in weekly and let autopilot carry the rest. Both are running the fund correctly.
And it talks back like a professional
Ask a hard question and you get the actual reasoning, the edge, the numbers, the doubt included. Disagree with it and it argues its case before it defers. The tone you're owed is a briefing, not a sales pitch, and that's the tone you get.
