Evidence from Research

The Problem – Evidence from Research

The Mental-Performance Gap

84% of entrepreneurs

work more than 40 hours per week without systematic self-leadership

[1][2]

70% of entrepreneurs

prefer doing everything themselves rather than delegating

[1]

80% of CEO time

is spent on only 20% of business processes

[4][5]

90% can only briefly

step away from their business

[3]

Mental-Performance Reality

Emotional decisions lead to 40%+ misjudgments under stress [Research Neuroscience]
Mood-based leadership reduces consistency by 60% [Research Psychology]
Lack of systematic self-leadership = biggest performance killer [16][17]

CEOPRENEUR Ecosystem Integration

IOS as Foundation of All CEOPRENEUR Programs

The Inner Operating System is an integral part of all CEOPRENEUR frameworks and mentoring programs. Without mental leadership excellence, even the best business systems remain ineffective.

Part of CEOPRENEUR Mentoring

IOS is a fundamental component of all CEOPRENEUR mentoring programs. Every mentoring participant completes the IOS Foundation.

IOS Foundation for all mentees
Voice Management in all sessions
Crisis-proof operating system
Continuous IOS development

Foundation of All CEOPRENEUR Frameworks

Every CEOPRENEUR framework is based on IOS principles. Systematic self-leadership enables successful implementation.

Build to Leave: IOS for owner-dependency reduction
ExitReady: IOS under M&A stress and deal pressure
SELL Framework: Voice management for sales situations
DARK Framework: Crisis leadership through IOS mastery

Why IOS First?
