Executive Careers with Fexingo: VP, C-Suite, and Senior Leadership Career Strategy · 2026-06-10 · 9 min
Episode notes
Lucas and Luna explore a powerful but rarely discussed career tool: the personal decision playbook. They break down how senior leaders create structured frameworks to evaluate job offers, promotions, and pivot opportunities without getting distracted by ego, money, or short-term pressure. The episode centers on a real scenario: a VP of Product at a mid-size tech company deciding whether to accept a CEO role at a smaller startup or stay for a potential COO track. Lucas walks through the four-step playbook — values audit, scenario mapping, decision criteria weighted by importance, and a personal 'red flag' list. Luna shares a counterexample from her own career where skipping the playbook led to a costly mistake. The episode ends with a practical prompt listeners can use to build their own playbook in under an hour. #CareerPlaybook #DecisionFramework #SeniorLeadership #ExecutiveCareer #CareerStrategy #Leadership #JobOfferEvaluation #PromotionStrategy #CEOTransition #COOTrack #ValuesAudit #ScenarioMapping #CareerPivot #ExecutiveDecisionMaking #ProfessionalGrowth #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
