Leadership Pillar 2: Confidence
Spartan CEO: Six Pillars of Executive Performance
Here’s what most people don’t realize. Since 1978, executive compensation has increased by 940%. At the same time, the number of CEO roles has declined by 25% with another 5% drop expected over the next eight years.
PAUSE ON THAT.
Organizations aren’t paying for titles anymore. They’re paying for capacity the ability to lead people, pressure, and performance when it matters most.
Which means leadership today isn’t about ambition. It’s about preparation.
Those who invest in the skills, discipline, and mindset required to lead at the highest level don’t compete with the crowd. They rise above it.
The question isn’t whether the opportunity exists. It’s whether you’re becoming the kind of leader it’s reserved for.
Because when the seats are fewer and the stakes are higher, only those who are ready are invited to the table.

Toby from Pillar 6
I was completely humbled by this. Glad I could push Corrie without even realising it. Deep down I knew I’d never get near to his deadlift weights! Wherever I have worked health and well-being has never been considered despite all the advantages and statistics to suggest it should. Spartan CEO provides different insights into leadership with easy to use tips which I can relate to. Knowing Corrie as a friend, his wit, knowledge and experience shines through and was written exactly how he would talk to you one on one. #f*ckdeadlifts #f*cktoby

The Spartan CEO Story
After years of study and real-world execution
Founding seven companies and advising over a hundred I realised something uncomfortable.
The knowledge that creates exceptional leaders was reaching too few people.
I was working with executives one at a time, while thousands needed the same clarity, discipline, and edge.
So I took what decades of strategy, research, and leadership experience had proven and built a system to scale it.
That system became Spartan CEO.
It was a HUGE success
My client companies were totally transformed. I achieved:
My executive coaching delivered measurable results:
up to 27% stronger values-driven leadership, 23% higher empowerment, and a 788% return on investment.
But there was a problem.
Only a few could afford it. And I was still reaching only a few hundred executives each year.
That wasn’t good enough.
THERE WERE MILLIONS OF MANAGERS AND LEADERS OUT THERE WHO NEEDED THIS INFORMATION. NOT SOMEDAY. NOT EVENTUALLY. NOW.
And the gap between the high performers and the average performers was widening.
It became a moment of decision.
I could keep this knowledge exclusive reserved for the 1% who could afford private access.
Or I could scale it, systemize it, and put it into the hands of leaders everywhere.
I chose the second path.
I KNEW I HAD TO MAKE THIS KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. NO GATES. NO ELITISM. JUST LEADERSHIP - DONE RIGHT.
It was the only way I could be proud of myself as a strategy professor and leadership expert.
So I wrote my notes and stories down.
And I published a book and this masterclass series, to give the strategic advantage to EVERYONE that wanted it.
If you want to excel in leadership, don’t follow me, follow the science.
